Item Description
Before India, Iceland zeolites set the world standard and were considered both superb specimens and a mark of the sophisticated collector. Fine apophyllite specimens from this classic locale are actually quite uncommon. A 2.0 cm gem crystal with a water-clear, pyramidal termination is jauntily set on matrix covered with translucent apophyllite crystals. Showy, excellent and classic material from this locale from the Howard Belsky Collection.
