Description

A cluster of many curvy Heulandite crystals with an exceptional red color. Pink and red are the most desirable of colors on Heulandite from New Jersey. The color is caused by iron oxide/hematite inclusions. Small rhombohedral calcite crystals are scattered throughout the surface of the heulandite crystals. Collected by Eric Stanchich.
