Fluorapophyllite-(K) with Stilbite

Item Description

I know that Indian Zeolites and associated minerals are fairly common on the market these days, but you must appreciate them for what they are. Many of these pieces are simply some of the finest crystallized examples of these particular species extant. This piece features sharp, lustrous crystals of soft green to white / colorless Apophyllite with associated white blades of Stilbite on contrasting reddish colored crystals of what appear to be Heulandite. The main Apophyllite crystal is doubly-terminated and measures 3.4 cm long. Despite a little damage, it's a beautiful and eye-catching piece, and will probably end up being a great bargain for somebody. One day (eventually) India will not produce any more of these Zeolites, and they will more receive great recognition for being the amazing display specimens that they are.
