Large Scolecite (Bedogne Coll.)

Item Description

Dramatic diverging sprays of very large, glassy, highly lustrous, translucent to transparemt scolecite prisms form a most impresssive and sculptural large specimen from Nashik. The stout size of the crystals is remarkable. The small sharp apophyllites scattered on the terminations and on the prism sides are a super accent. A noteworthy large 360-degree specimen from the Dr. Franesco Bedogne Collection # 2366. Dr. Bedogne, 1942-2012, was a well-known Italian mineralogist, prolific author, field collector and collector.
