Natrolite on Natrolite

Mineral Matters #402

This week’s Facebook Mineral of the Week Group’s selected theme is crystals impaled or perched on another.

This one fortunately also had “perched” in the description in my catalogue. Unlike yesterday’s Mineral Matters however, this is crystals of the same mineral perched on an earlier occurrence. Neat sprays of natrolite on natrolite.
