Red Apophyllite (rare), Stilbite & Mordenite

Item Description

An aesthetic and sculptural 360-degree small cabinet combination with VERY RARE red apophyllite from Jalgaon. A striking, 4.5 x 4.4 x 2.8 cm, tetragonal blocky cubic apophyllite crystal dramatically dominates all sides of the piece. The glassy, translucent crystal has beautiful variable hues, which are dramatically accented by striking arboresent sprays of red oxides on both frontal faces and the layering and impressive stepped-growth of the highly lustrous prism faces. Pearlescent translucent, light salmon stilbite blades, to 4.0 cm, are very attractively scattered about the piece. Scattered snow-white mordenite patches are a fine complement. The piece hosts six more smaller red apophyllites as a bonus. An very fine, colorful, rare and exotic red apophyllite crystal combination with multiple display views. Jalgaon continually amazes with the superlative quality of Zeolite Group species. From a 2019 pocket. Valued at $1000-1500
