Chabazite
Vug measures 60 mm x 45 mm
Chabazite crystals, the big one in the centre measures 14 mm x 12 mm
Moonen Bay, Duirinish, Isle of Skye, Scotland, UK

Chabazite in vug in basalt. Very large with a fine pink/orange colour chabazite crystals. The big one in the centre measures 14mm x 12mm. Vug measures 60mm x 45mm. The chabazite crystal on the top edge has been stuck back on I’m afraid. Moonen Bay does produce some excellent large and coloured chabazites but they are very brittle and difficult to extract in one piece! Self-collected 1996 from Moonen Bay, Duirinish, Isle of Skye.
