Item Description
Rich mint-green, water-clear to translucent, glassy and lustrous, sharply terminated apophyllite crystals are richly and dramatically strung across the hefty large vesicular basalt matrix covered with starkly contrasting tiny, pearlescent stilbite blades. The beautiful crystals reach 3.1 cm long. The many crystals in the interior are pristine. Beautiful gem apophyllites from the extinct Pashan quarries are considered by many collectors to be among India's very finest. 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 large combination example. Pashan specimens are of this size and quality are SELDOM on the market today. 2749 grams or 6.1 pounds mass.
