Fine specimen on matrix of Ferrierite-Mg (a zeolite uncommon in quality specimens) with globular growths of fine lamellar crystals, transparent, with an excellent reddish orange color and with small unidentified crystals (probably Quartz) on the surface of one of the spheres. This type of specimen, as well as the locality, seem already destined to become classics for the species.
