ph06kg1 18 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Hello everybody, found these beautiful natrolite on analcime background, thought it would be a nice idea to share them with you! All crystals are from the volcanogenic areas of Cyprus island in the mediterranean sea. Enjoy! 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Morlock 1,728 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Those are absolutely gorgeous. Have never seen natrolite as nice as the ones in the pics. I would imagine those are too fragile for shipping. Thanks for posting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

These samples are quite common; others are truly stunning Veeeery fragile unfortunately..!! I broke many of them when carrying back home.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Elias 6 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Cant ship anything, everything shut down :( To be honest I've only been out mineral hunting 3-4 times (first time last week) so still not sure what I'm doing lol I found a webpage that showed some Gmelinite that was found not far from me and thought I'd take a look in the area. Found a really nice spot although I dont think I have found any Gmelinite so far Im getting help with identification from a FB group of Cypriot rock hunters. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It has value but only if it can be shipped without any breakage. That eliminates the first specimen since it's so fragile. The others might be okay. But that's a nice locality you have access to. Even if you can't sell them they are worthy of your collection. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Elias, I'm visiting my daughter who lives in Peyia, Paphos and I've been looking to find some localities where I could look for rocks and minerals. I'm a member of a rockhound club back in New Zealand and I'm interested in finding some specimens from Cyprus. I would appreciate it very much if you could give me some ideas of any places where I could explore, please. Thank you very much, Andreas Quote Link to post Share on other sites
