Item Description

A stunning, sculptural, radial cluster of highly lustrous, water-clear, colorless to green, cubically-tipped apophyllite crystals, from the now infamous find of 2001. It looks a corsage. You simply cannot get them on the market, any more! These have a special place in the midst of all the other Indian minerals and some people call them "disco balls" for good reason. They sparkle incredibly in person. The base of pearlescent stilbite blades is a nice accent. This piece is in excellent shape, with very few cleaved apophyllites. Valued at $1000-1250.
