Item Description
A beautiful display specimen from Jalgaon. At the center of the basalt vug is a very lustrous, translucent, cream-colored Stellerite group measuring 4.2 cm across. Indian Zeolites and associated minerals may be common on the market, but they should not be discounted for their abundance because many of these minerals are the finest examples of their respective species extant! Valued at $850. Ex Charlie Key personal collection. Charlie is arguably the most sucessful dealer of the second half of the 20th century, along with being the namesake for TWO mineral species (Keyite and Ludlockite).
