Item Description
This is a GIANT 10 x 8 x 7 cm crystal, perched on a natural stalk of stilbite matrix. It masses 1600 grams, folks?msot of it the big giant crystal! The crystal is complete, and starkly geometric like a drawing from a textbook - rare in this size. It has a faint greenish hue to it, more evident in person and NOT exaggerated or even emphasized in the photos because the lighting in the photos was designed by choice to be angled to emphasize the habit of the crystal rather than its color. A significant addition to any Indian collection. I purchased this directly, in about 2005, from an Indian dealer for way more than the price it will go for here...
