From a matrix of .5 cm hematite-included stilbite rise two crystals of sharp, diverging, lustrous beige powellites to 4 cm. Both powellites are doubly terminated and for added aesethetics there is a 2 cm blade of stilbite between the two powellites. The contrast of colors as well as the diverging nature of the powellites makes this piece a winner. 4 cm in size makes them significant, too! I have NEVER HAD such good powellites so cheaply as at this recent show/find.
