Stilbite (2 generations) w/ Apophyllite (Ted Bartels Coll.)

Item Description

A sculptural large combination zeolite specimen from Nashik. Striking, intergrown, large flower bulb-like clusters of pretty pearlescent light salmon-pink stilbite blades are attached to a narrow crust of starkly contrasting snow-white chalcedony. The isolated second generation single stilbite blades attached to the chalcedony and the two isolated, gem, bi-colored tetragonal, doubly terminated apophyllite crystals, to 1.1 cm, perched atop the stilbites are super accessories. Indian zeolite specimens continually amaze with the high quality and variety of crystal habits, combinations and forms. Choice material from the Ted Bartels Collection. This fine and pristine two-sided piece has multiple display views.
