Item Description
A dramatic, LARGE CABINET, combination specimen from recent finds at Jalgaon, India. Lustrous, pearlescent, salmon-pink, stilbite bowties and blades and two salmon-pink, saddle-shaped, heulandite crystals richly and very aesthetically cover the curved vug lined with drusy quartz. The stilbite bowtie on the upper left is 5.1 cm and the large heulandite on the bottom-center is 5.4 cm. A few small, glassy, green, apophyllite crystals scattered about are a nifty accent to this impressive specimen. The stilbite blades attached to both of the heulandites are noteworthy and very pretty. A bit of contacting is noted on the center-right and the bottom periphery on this excellent piece. This remains a large and beautiful combination specimen from this noted locale. Valued at $500-700.
