A mob of sparkling, sharply formed and
translucent brewsterite crystals to about 3 mm fight for
space on one face of the matrix. This is probably
brewsterite-Sr - (Sr,Ba,Ca)[Al2 SiO 6 O 16 ]ยท5H 2 O,
for which Mindat lists just
nine global localities. Brewsterite-Sr is an
uncommon zeolite species - which generally is only found
in small crystals. This is a rich sample and in excellent
condition.
