Epistilbite with super luster

Item Description

8 cm growth of very lustrous Epistilbite crystals completely crawling along up a pocket in the basalt. These clear, partially gemmy Epistilbites range up to about 2 cm in length individually and greater as clusters; and the way they fill the pocket is really quite attractive. It is sparkly and bright, the best pearly luster you can ask for in this species. One of the more rare zeolites from the Deccan plateau basalts. I think Charlie bought every one he could find, for his large Indian species subcollection! This is a particularly impressive and displayable piece. Valued $900
