Item Description

Super glassy, gem-like, colorless, apophyllite crystals form a striking and beautiful stalactite from Jalgaon. The gemmy, pyramidal crystals are water-clear to translucent and some are doubly terminated, including the largest compound crystal at 4.6 cm. The crystals project every which way, and really adds to the visual appeal of this dramatic piece. Complete all-around and shockingly pristine, except for trivial periphery wear at the base. This is a very fine and uncommon example of stalactitic apophyllite from Jalgaon. Fairly valued at $400-500 today.
