Description:A classic "bow tie"-shaped aggregate of light peach color Stilbite crystals very aesthetically intergrown with additional blades of Stiblite and many gemmy yellow-green Apophyllite crystals on a thin layer of purplish-grey Chalcedony on basalt matrix. The piece is in great shape overall and the display leaves little to be desired from an aesthetic standpoint. The "bow tie" measures 7.4 cm long, and the largest Apophyllite crystal measures 2.0 cm on edge. Good quality overall, despite a bit of damage, it's still a wonderful large display piece. 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 ! PLEASE NOTE: This piece will carry an additional shipping charge due to the size and weight of the specimen.
