Chabazite, Limberg bei Sasbach, Kaiserstuhl, Baden (Germany) 
Chabazite is a very common zeolite species, but at Limberg it is rather rare and small for the species with crystals typical less than 1 mm. Chabazite forms twinned rhomboeders and is frequently associated with Phillipste, but may be also observed  in paragenesis with Faujasite.
