Item Description

Spectacular small cabinet stilbite and chalcedony combination from Jalgaon. A stunning, beautiful, 5.8 cm, doubly terminated, rich salmon-pink, pearlescent, translucent, parallel-growth stilbite crystal is dramatically skewered on the end of a striking bent stalactite of sparkly, sugary, chalcedony. Another 1.5 cm smaller stilbite blade attached to another crazily bent stalactite is a super complement to this fantastic and pristine 360-degree combination. The smaller stilbites attached to the large blade are super accessories and add much character. Ex Dr. Steve Smale Collection.
