Item Description

Indian Zeolites and associated species may be plentiful for now, but you must appreciate them for what they are. They are simply some of the finest crystallized examples of many of these species extant. This piece features several, sharp, lustrous, translucent/gemmy, blocky green color crystals of Apophyllite up to 1.8 cm with white Stilbite blades and minor pearly, white Heulandite on a thin slab of matrix. It's an aesthetic small cabinet size piece, and will probably end up being a great bargain for somebody. One day (eventually) India will not produce any more of these minerals, and they will more than likely receive great recognition for being the amazing display specimens that they are.
