Description

Piece from the so-called "Gilico Baths" where we see analcime crystals of whitish tones with trapezohedral and dodecahedral shapes with some inclusions that give uniqueness to the piece. The specimen is rich in mineralization, we see crystals of lamellar hematite, silver in color, whitish calcite, prehnite with a fan-shaped morphology, very bright yellow Titanite and finally we see very beautiful prismatic actinolite crystals. A very rich piece mineralogically speaking.
