Who knew?! I know its only analcime, but this zeolite family mineral is rarely found in such a beautifully crystallized manner, and especially I have not seen any good ones form this part of the world! Yet, here it is, purchased at the Denver show form a real live Pakistani who swears by the locale. It is perched high on matrix and exhibits superb crystallography. It is slightly translucent, lustrous, white, and the crystal measures 2.3 cm in length.
