Heulandite w/ Stilbite (Dr. Steve Smale Coll.)

Item Description

A striking, large, 8.0 cm, heulandite crystal dominates this impressive and sculptural large combination from Nashik. Seven, classic, very glassy, translucent, parallel-growth tapered heulandite crystals compose this very aesthetic corsage. A 3.1 cm, pearlescent creamy stilbite crystal is a fine accessory and the crystals rest on undulating basalt matrix covered with interesting looking wormy quartz, adding contrast and character.
