Item Description

This piece features a few beautiful cream colored, somewhat "melted" crystal groups of Stilbite with pinkish Heulandite blades on matrix. One of the few pieces of this material that I have offered, and certainly different from others from India. This is not your average Indian Zeolite specimen. The largest Stilbite measures 3.5 cm. I know that Indian Zeolite and associated species are fairly common right now, but you must appreciate them for what they are. They are simply some of the finest crystallized examples of many of these species extant. One day (eventually) India will not produce any more of these Zeolites, and they will more than likely receive great recognition for being these amazing display specimens.
