#smectite

Golden stilbite and associated clay minerals from a local Clackamas County spot along the Willamette River collected months ago with @pnw_rocktography and @unearthed.minerals. These pockets are nice, but the really cool and scary looking material comes in smaller pockets in the same host rock, as this stuff is riddled with wildly varying formations, minerals and colors. I’ll post them here imminently as I play catch up on the last few collecting trips.
