Stilbite on Druzy Quartz (Currier Coll.)

Item Description

Classic pearlescent, salmon-pink translucent stilbite blades are aesthetically clustered on the large specimen of sparkly, translucent drusy quartz coating a sculptural cluster of opaque stalactites. The large stilbite is 3.2 cm. Complete all-around. The bit of noted lower periphery wear has negligible impact to the overall high quality of this uncommon style combination from the famous Traprock deposits at Jalgaon. Stalactitic drusy quartz is known from Jalgaon, but specimens with opaque interiors of an unknown material are relatively rare, and are especially RARE in this combination quality. Ex Rock Currier Collection No. 4041. Rock was one of the world's largest and most important exporters of Indian minerals, at the beginning, since he went to India himself and realized how much beautiful stuff there was to bring out in the 1970s! Indian minerals in his collection were brought out by him and high graded from his dealer stock before it hit the market. Valued $750.
