Item Description
A classic, well-formed, doubly-terminated and good-sized "bow tie"-shaped aggregate of sharp and semi-lustrous light peach-yellow color Stilbite crystals with a few accenting Stilbite "blades" on very minor matrix. The piece is in great shape overall and the displayability leaves nothing to be desired from an aesthetic standpoint. Indian Zeolites may still be fairly common on the market, but you cannot deny the fact that they are colorful, attractive, highly displayable and several of them are the finest examples of their respective species extant! Beautiful on all sides as you can see from the photos.
