Item Description
A dramatic and superb, 360-degree, combination specimen from Jalgaon. An impressive cluster of pearlescent, tan stilbite crystals to 8.2 cm (doubly terminated bowtie) crowning the large upright piece is beautifully accented by two, water-clear, gem, colorless, blocky, apophyllite crystals. The stilbites rest on glassy, bi-colored to colorless, apophyllite crystals, which are strikingly accented with diverging sprays or single, acicular scolecite crystals. Complete all-around and pristine, except for a couple of gently cleaved apophyllites at the base, which are barely noticeable. Every turn presents a fabulous new perspective. Simply one of the very finest 360-degree Jalgaon combination specimens with scolecite we have offered at auction. Valued at $1000-1250.
