Item Description
Many of the minerals (mostly zeolites) found in the Deccan Trap are the finest crystallized representations of their respective species ever found. This piece is a great example of said material featuring several fine quality bladed groups of Stilbite (specifically Stilbite-Ca) of a soft white color measuring up to 2.2 cm sitting atop pearly stalactitic formations of peach colored Heulandite. The piece is very showy and three dimensional, and I love how the Stilbites are free-standing and flaring aesthetically off of the Heulandite. A very attractive specimen of this classic material. From the worldwide collection of Tom Campbell. Tom is a mineralogist and mineral collect who works with us here at The Arkenstone. He has over 35 years of experience in the fields of exploration geology, mining, and applied mineralogy, and has even more years under his belt as a collector! Tom has described many new species over the years, and discovered the rare phosphates Tiptopite, Fransoletite and Pahasapaite. Tom was also a co-author on the second edition of the Encyclopedia of Minerals. You can see a list of Tom's published works here ( https://www.irocks.com/thomas-j-campbell-publications-list ).
