Tried to capture every angle of this incredibly dope calcite (?) formation on stilbite, as well as other calcites and associated zeolites in this final group of shots of this material from my last few posts. Hard to photograph, but super cool little diamond in the rough.

Here’s some of the crazy little pockets of zeolites and calcite from the same host rock as my last post. I especially love the clusters of single, clear stilbite crystals against the stark black background of druzy covered matrix. I’m not sure what all the other zeolites are, but I heard thompsonite and likely scolecite and/or mordenite are present, among others. Spot shown to me by @pnw_rocktography, dug with him and @unearthed.minerals many weeks ago
