Rich crystals of scolecite measuring to 0.5 cm in size across the top of a smoky quartz crystal matrix with blocky crystals of orthoclase. In good condition with very minimal damage present. I think this an outstanding example for the species from the Swiss Alps. Specimen such as this are rarely seen available on the market the specimen comes with an antique label as shown at the end of the video and dates to the very early 20th century.
