Apophyllite with Stilbite

Item Description

I know that Indian Zeolites and associated species are everywhere, but you must appreciate them for what they are. They are simply some of the finest crystallized examples of their respective species extant. This piece is actually from a find from nearly 20 years ago. It features sharp, lustrous, prismatic, blue green color crystals of Apophyllite measuring up to 3.1 cm with translucent, white Stilbite sheaves on matrix. Great quality overall, with only a bit of superficial roughness. 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. This piece comes with a label from recently deceased dealer, Larry Conklin on New York City.
