Natrolite — Micro-Needles Formation | Teichelberg, Germany

Natrolite on Basalt — Micro-Needles Formation from Teichelberg (168g)

This collector-grade Natrolite specimen features a dense field of micro-needles (acicular) crystals forming a softly radiant growth across a dark basalt matrix. Sourced from the historic Teichelberg quarry in Oberpfalz, Bavaria, Germany, this formation represents a classic European zeolite habit prized for its fine crystalline texture and clean mineral contrast.

Unlike massive or chalky natrolite, this specimen displays tightly packed, hair-fine needles that create a subtle radial pattern visible across the white crystalline surface. The transition from volcanic host rock to natrolite growth is well defined, giving the piece strong visual structure and display appeal.
