Description:Yugawaralite is a VERY rare zeolite group mineral and to find two, large, lustrous, tabular blades beautifully set in a basalt vug lined with drusy quartz is exceptional. The two crystals are over 2 cm, good sized for teh species and find. This outstanding and excellent specimen is from Malad in the Bombay area, where most of the quarries are now closed because of population growth. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON. In my years of dealing I have seen about a dozen good Yuga specimens out of THOUSANDS, maybe tens of thousands, of other Indian basalt-rock minerals. It is incredibly rare, and uncommon, even amongst all the mining there. Valued $750-1000
