Item Description
A dramatic and outstanding large stilbite combination from recent finds at Jalgaon. A beautiful, pristine, 8.5 cm, corsage-like cluster of pearlescent, translucent, light salmon-pink to creamy stilbite blades is beautifully set on the intergrown chalcedony stalactites, that are covered with an earlier generation of smaller stilbite blades. The coup-de-grace is the surreal feather-like cluster of stilbite blades crowning the piece. Complete all-around and essentially pristine, with only few broken ends to chalcedony stalactites at the base. This is a superlative and rare immenslely sculptural example of Zeolite bounty from Jagaon. Fairly valued at $1750-2000 for unique high combination quality and size.
