MD-27538 - Barrerite - - Archived Rocky Pass, Kuiu Island, Sitka Borough, Alaska, USA miniature, 4.4 x 3.4 x 3.1 cm
Barrerite is a rare zeolite species related to stilbite, but found in just a few localities and not nearly as common. This specimen is from a find of the late 90's which really set a new standard for the species. It is, also, an aesthetically attractive specimen in its own right. 4.4 x 3.4 x 3.1 cm
MRZ327 - Barrerite on Quartz - AUS$ 442 Kuiu Island, Alaska small cabinet, 7.5 x 5.4 x 2.5 cm ex. Martin Zinn
A 7.0 cm tall quartz stalactite of sparkling, snow white, drusy quartz, is the host for a few crystals of pearlescent barrerite, to 3.75 cm in length, a rare member of the zeolite family. Rarer still, this was from a one time discovery in Alaska. I recall when they came out, and a single dealer had a table or two full of them at one of the hotel mineral shows run by Marty Zinn.
