Stilbite ex. Halpern Collection

Item Description

Curved crystals are an unusual habit for Stilbite, and the color on this specimen is also very unusual and rarely seen so that we assume it is due to an (unkown) inclusion inside. The crystals are almost flower-like (or, if you prefer, they look like classic solar prominences as they arch across the surface of the sun), and they range up to an impressive 5-6 cm long. The tan to butterscoth coloration adds to the uncommon, yet attractive, nature of these crystals. A fine, cabinet-sized specimen that is both unusual and aesthetic. Never seen one quite like it! Indian minerals are common , sure, but not like this.
