Item Description
An outstanding and aesthetic combination zeolite specimen from Lonavala. The highlight of this very fine piece is the striking, 2.1 cm, blocky, pretty mint-green apophyllite crystal with serrrated terminations. This cutie is gemmy, water-clear to translucent and is elegantly perched on the sculptural basalt matrix covered with starkly contrasting, sparkly, terra cotta-red, heulandite microcrystals. The amazing, centrally placed, 1.3 cm, water-clear, mint-green to colorless, smaller apophyllite and the pearlescent, stilbite blades finish out this beautiful combination piece. Very high quality material from the George Feist Collection # 1308.
