Item Description
An excellent and very showy Indian specimen of lustrous, translucent to gemmy, white, radiating clusters of bladed Epistilbite in basalt from Jalgaon. The blades range up to 1 cm, and the geometry and aesthetics are choice. Epistilbite is much less common than Stilbite in India. This is a fine example of this rare species. Last purchased for $250 in the 1990s.
