Item Description
An impressive and sculptural, LARGE CABINET, combination specimen from Pune. Very glassy and translucent, large, modified cubic apophyllite crystals to 5.1 cm comprise most of the piece. A few creamy, stilbite blades to 4.4 cm in the middle of the piece are a very nice compliment. This large piece is in super shape with only a bit of periphery wear. Older material from Pune from the 1980s or 90s, as all of these quarries are now closed due to population expansion. Modern material is mostly from Jalgaon. Excellent and uncommon large combination material from this locale from the Kevin Brown Collection.
