Item Description
Many collectors consider the beautiful gem apophyllites from the extinct Pashan quarries to be among India's very finest. This outstanding aesthetic and sculptural old-timer features water-clear to translucent mint-green, sharply terminated prisms richly scattered and accented with pearlescent stilbite blades. The striking upright crystal is 2.3 cm long and the impressive large doubly terminated crystal is 3.0 long. The golden years for the quarries were in the 1980s. The quarries closed in the early 1990s due to population growth. This is an exceptionally dramatic and excellent combination example. Pashan specimens are seldom on the market today.
