CHABAZITE CRYSTALS - Isle of Skye, Scotland (archive)
« backCHABAZITE CRYSTALS
Moonen Bay, Isle of Skye,
Scotland
A very nice specimen of pale orange chabazite that sits well without the need for a stand.
Chabazite is a mineral of the zeolite group. It forms attractive crystals and usually occurs with other zeolite minerals in cavities in basalt lava.
The cavities were originally large air bubbles when the lava was molten during a period of intense volcanic activity in western Scotland about 50 million years ago.
