Item Description

Pearlescent bladed light salmon-pink stilbite crystals partially enclose intergrown blocky, tabular red apophyllite crystals on this sculptural large 360-degree combination from recent finds in Jalgaon. RED apophyllite is VERY RARE from Jalgaon. The glassy, highly lustrous, translucent tetragonal crystals, to 2.8 cm, have variable hues, which are accented by the striking arboresent sprays of red oxides on frontal faces and the layering and impressive stepped-growth of the highly lustrous prism faces. Scattered nubby snow-white mordenite patches are a fine complement. There are about 11 red apophyllites in the cluster. The impressive large doubly terminated stilbite bowtie on the back is 7.3 cm long. A 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, which produced few. We bought 2 flats at the time, and have not seen more.
