This is a specimen of light orange (salmon colored) rhombohedral crystals of Chabazite (Hydrated Calcium Aluminum Silicate) an uncommon zeolite mineral. Many of the Chabazite crystals are coated with clear Gmelinite (Hydrated Sodium Calcium Aluminum Silicate). If you orient a face of Chabazite such that the light catches it you will see a reflective triangular pattern—this is the Gmelinite covering the Chabazite. T are some stand alone clear Gmelinite crystals hiding amongst the rest. These Chabazite/Gmelinite crystals are amongst some asterisk-shaped crystal sprays of Stilbite.
