A pretty example of a zeolite from an unusual location-- this one is a cluster of acicular natrolite crystals from Tasmania; there seem to also be a number of small analcime crystals scattered around the back and lower edges of the main clusters as well.  I actually like zeolites, it's just that India has produced them in such quality and abundance that it's made many collectors somewhat blasé when it comes to most species in the mineral group. I guess when you start to think of them in terms of locality they they might begin to take on a more Pokemonish "gotta catch 'em all" appeal; especially when delving into species from the less commonly available localities (here, or Washington state for example) which also produce remarkably good examples...
