Item Description
Indian Zeolites may still be fairly common on the market, but you cannot deny the fact that they are colorful, attractive, highly displayable and several of them are the finest examples of their respective species extant! This piece features excellent, sharp, blocky, white/colorless prisms of Apophyllite up to 2.2 cm which are smartly sitting atop translucent, soft green color Prehnite "fingers" and minor white/cream color Gyrolite "spheres". Virtually damage free and fine quality for the material. This is an older specimen and came out of the ground around 1990.
