Mineral: Laumontite with Calcite
Locality: Pine Creek Mine, Scheelite, Bishop District (Tungsten Hills District), Inyo County, California, USA
Dimensions: 112 x 102 x 77 mm

Description: Slender, well-formed, twinned, prismatic Laumontite crystals to 70 mm long form a slightly diverging cluster. The terminations are classic fish-tail twins. Yellow Calcite crystals accent the Laumontite crystals. These specimens have been well preserved and looks like they may survive in spite of the mineral being so unstable. This is an excellent specimen from this long ago closed tungsten mine.
