Description

Numerous micro 1-2 mm honey coloured cubic crystals hiding in many vugs all over the specimen. These hide very well so it is like a little game to see how many of these you can find with a loupe. (Like the popular kid's search game "Where's Waldo?"). Paulingite is a zeolite. Fun Fact - The mineral Paulingite was named after Dr. Linus Pauling, the scientist  and Nobel laureate who in his later years advocated the health benefits of Vitamin C. He lived until 93 so maybe he was right.
