Item Description
A dramatic, CABINET, combination zeolite specimen from Pune -old material. Very glassy, colorless, apophyllite crystals to 7.5 cm have incredible, four-sided, complexly terminated, water-clear, gem terminations. The cameras could not capture the limpidness of these gem-like terminations. Two, tapered florets of pearlescent, cream-colored stilbite blades to 5.0 cm are a super accent. All of the many major apophyllites and the two stilbites are pristine. One side of the piece is contacted, but has very minimal impact on the overall striking quality of this impressive piece. valued $750
