This natrolite specimen comes from the Richter Quarry near Hammerunterwiesenthal in the Saxon Ore Mountains. Numerous white to cream-colored natrolite crystals cover a large area of the dark phonolite matrix. <\/p>\n

The elongated crystals are densely intergrown and form partly radial groups. Some crystals project freely from the more compact aggregates. Their surfaces appear matte to silky. <\/p>\n

Measuring 7.0 \u00d7 5.5 \u00d7 4.0 cm, the piece belongs to the cabinet specimen size category. It weighs 128 g. <\/p>\n

Natrolite from a Phonolite Occurrence in the Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge)<\/h3>\n

The Richter Quarry near Hammerunterwiesenthal is a well-known German locality for natrolite and other zeolite minerals. The quarry exposes phonolite in which various secondary minerals formed in fractures and cavities. <\/p>\n

Mineral-bearing fluids circulated through open spaces within the volcanic rock. Natrolite was deposited on the cavity walls and formed dense, partly radial crystal aggregates. <\/p>\n

The pale crystal groups, dark phonolite matrix, and documented provenance make this piece a characteristic natrolite specimen from Hammerunterwiesenthal.<\/p>\n
