This is a sharp, attractive small cab with pastel salmon-pink chabazite and small, pearlescent heulandite crystals, perched on a blanket of stilbite. The chabazites are quite good for the locale, and to 1.75 cm across in size. Old specimen, I am told (and as the old Ward's label attests to). The handwriting on the label seems to match that of dealer George English (1864-1944) - see http://www.minrec.org/labels.asp?colid=319

This is a large, really high quality crystal with deep color and a large translucent zone. The terminations are broad, lustrous, and well-developed, much more than you normally see for large diopsides from this classic locale. It is about 50 grams, so its sizable, as you can see. I have seen many short stumpy diopsides from this location over the years, turn up in old collections. Seldom have I seen one with such presence, because it is thick and fat and hs such rich color. This is a superb single crystal. ex Kevin Brown collection
