Item Description
An aesthetic and superb, LARGE CABINET, Jalgaon, India combination specimen. Two, striking, large clusters of lustrous, chocolatey heulandite fans dominate the top of this fabulous piece. Gorgeous, pearlescent, salmon-pink stilbite blades and a 4.5 cm bowtie are richly and attractively scattered on the plate coated with very complimentary, drusy, stalactitic chalcedony. The chocolate-colored heulandites are not that common and in combination with the pink stilbites and white chalcedony, this is truly a dramatic large specimen. Yes, there are a myriad of Indian zeolites out there, but this one has EXCEPTIONAL form, composition and size. Ex Ed David Collection and valued at $1200.
