Item Description
A gorgeous multitude of scintillating, gem, apophyllite crystals forms a striking and aesthetic large specimen from Jalgaon. The piece is anchored by four, doubly terminated, water-clear to translucent crystals that reach 7.2 cm. The sparkle of the dense clusters of smaller crystals, like faceted gems, attached to the large crystals and the beautifully accented by the iron oxide tinting on the fringes REALLY adds pazzazz to this fine specimen. Essentially pristine. Jalgaon continually amazes with the quality and diversity of zeolite specimens and this is a good one. Comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $125, for free. Valued at $600-800.
