Description
An excellent and showy divergent spray of glassy scolecite needles aesthetically set in matrix covered with epidote from a famous Swiss locality - Arvigo, Grisons. This is a fine, two-sided specimen, which is not diminished by a few broken crystals, as you can see. Obtained by noted Alpine collector, Rolf Wein, in 1967. I have never seen such a nice scolecite spray from here on our market, at least in the US.
Known provenanceKnowing where your specimen comes from and who owned it adds to its story and value. Good provenance helps prove it's authentic and preserves important details about its discovery.
