Large Fluorapophyllite & Stilbite on Chalcedony (superb)

Item Description

A superb and aesthetic large combination from Jalgaon. Glassy, gemmy, bi-colored, pyramidal fluorapophyllite crystals are dramatically set in the large curved vug. Three of the crystals are 6.3 cm long. The vug is lined with popcorn chalcedony and is nicely accented with a few pastel-pink stilbite blades and scattered small fluorapophyllites. Expertly prepared, this outstanding large combination is pristine. Priced at $6000 by the former dealer, it came to us in a large collection purchase. A clearly superior large combination specimen, even if of common material generally on the market. I value it closer to $3000, which may have been the original sale price anyhow.
