Item Description
A remarkable large apophyllite and stilbite specimen from an important 2017 find at this locale. A stunning 10.8 cm bi-colored tetragonal apophyllite crystal is dramatically cloaked by pearlescent, creamy stilbite crystals. A fantastic, colorless, gem pyramidal termination crowns the glassy, translucent beautiful mint-green body. Although common in principle, Indian minerals at the xenith of their finds really stand out as among some of the best the world has, and the prices on the finest Indian minerals are still an order of magnitude less than common minerals species from elsewhere, in part due to overproduction and in part due to collector attitudes that "they will find more." They do, every year - but different styles. Not like this! Comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $175 for free. Valued by $3500-4500.
