description:
An attractive specimen featuring lustrous stilbite crystals measuring up to 1.0 cm in size set on a matrix largely covered with sparkling micro colorless crystals of chabazite, creating a pleasing contrast in crystal size and texture. The stilbite shows good form and bright luster, while the fine chabazite coating adds brilliance and visual interest across the surface. The specimen is in good condition and is accompanied by an antique label dating to the early 20th century, as shown at the end of the video, providing strong historical provenance and collector appeal. The Richmond area in Victoria is known for zeolite mineralization associated with basaltic volcanic rocks, where cavities within the flows have produced attractive crystallized zeolite species prized by collectors.
