Item Description

I know that Indian Zeolite specimens and associated minerals are fairly common right now, but you must appreciate them for what they are. Many of these pieces are simply some of the finest crystallized examples of these particular species extant. This piece features sharp, lustrous crystals of Apophyllite with associated white blades of Stilbite. Despite a little damage, it's a beautiful and eye-catching miniature 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. Ex Mervyn Ford Collection.
