Item Description

I know that Indian Zeolite specimens are everywhere, 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 good sized, sharp, lustrous, pale green to colorless crystals of Apophyllite associated with a lone peach colored crystal of Stilbite on the side. The largest Apophyllite measures 4.8 cm long, and some of the Apophyllites are completely water clear on the terminations. Minimal damage, but showy and nice. It's an attractive 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 Zeolites, and they will more than likely receive great recognition for being the amazing display specimens that they are.
