somewhat glassy, translucent stilbite blades and groups on
a basalt matrix. The largest cluster, measuring 2.4 cm,
forms a slightly radiating 'wheat sheaf' group, common to
stilbite. This sample is very typical for stilbite from
the locality, which is now nearly (if not fully) extinct,
as it is being backfilled for future development. Minor
calcite. Displays well without additional support.
