For its size, this is one of the finest, most interesting cav's I have seen lately of the ball-style, as I call it. It features about 10 of them intergrown to form a rather large cluster winding very aesthetically across the top of this stilbite matrix, and creating a stark contrast! It is pristine and complete all around, and very 3-dimensional. Front and back shots are shown.
