Item Description

Large and beautiful Stilbite bowties rest on a substantial plate of gemmy and lustrous Fluorapophyllites. The pink Stilbite bowties are huge, ranging up to an amazing 9.5 cm across (nearly 4 inches), and their pink color accented by high luster is extremely attractive. The Fluorapophyllites are colorless and gemmy, and are so sharp they look like cut lead crystal! The largest is about 2.5 cm, and the plate is completely crystalline. This is a classic combination composed of classic components, and the aesthetics are terrific. Better even in person. The material is common, for sure....however, specimens with this aesthetics and quality, are not. Valued $2000
