Description
Ciclova, Oravita-Ciclova Cu-Mo-W Ore Field, Caras-Severin, Romania
A not so pretty but really rare example of stilbite from the location of Ciclova in Romania. I have only seen one other example from this mine (on mindat) and really cannot find much information about this area except that it was a copper-molybdenum porphyric deposit. I suspect that its history is written in other languages. This piece features flattened tabular (almost blades) of stilbite that are chatoyant on the flat surfaces. It is from old collections.
