Natrolite from Cairns Bay, Flinders, Victoria, Australia, measuring 80 × 54 × 37 mm and weighing 161 grams. A second Cairns Bay Natrolite in this sale, a little smaller than the piece above but still a solid representative specimen.
As with the other Natrolite from this locality, this piece formed from late-stage, low-temperature fluids depositing the zeolite in gas cavities within the Tertiary basalt that makes up the Flinders coastline on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula, the same geological setting that has made Cairns Bay one of the state's best-known zeolite-collecting localities.
Having more than one Cairns Bay Natrolite available in the one sale gives a buyer the choice of size and form without compromising on locality. This piece is from the David Vince Collection.
