Item Description
An impressive, LARGE CABINET, combination specimen from recent Jalgaon finds. Very glassy, gemmy, mint-green to colorless, apophyllite crystals are beautifully complimented with a band of lustrous, translucent, salmon-pink, stilbite crystals. The large, 3.5 cm, gem-clear, colorless, apophyllite crystal and its neighbors have striking interior phantoms/inclusions of iron oxides. You really don't many of this type of included apophyllites from Jalgaon, so this is a real bonus. A bit of contacting is noted on two of the stilbite crystals, but are a very modest detraction on the display views, as you can see. The water-clear glassiness of some of the larger apophyllites on this piece is exceptional. Excellent larger Jalgaon combination material.
