Stilbite + Chabazite Moonen Bay, Isle of Skye, Scotland, UK 9cm x 7cm x 4cm Stilbite crystals to 10mm+, and in aggregates of tiny transparent crystals, on a bed of small pink chabazites, on basalt rock. One of the best specimens recovered from an almost pristine large cavity - in fact they were so clean they almost didn’t need cleaning. The pink colour of the chabazite seems to be stable. I have found this combination of zeolites here before but nothing of this quality. (Author: Mike Wood)
