Item Description
Zeolite specimens from Gunjale, Ahmednagar District, are seldom seen on the market. This is a very pretty and aesthetic combination specimen. A ball-like, radiating cluster of gemmy, prismatic, blocky, two-toned, apophyllite crystals is attractively set with pearlescent, pastel-pink stilbite blades. Yellow color is unusual and there is a hint of it here! The apophyllite style reminds me of the famed "disco ball" apophyllites of 2001 from nearby Rahuri. Ex Daniel Trinchillo Sr. Collection and comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $150 as a free bonus.
