Item Description

I know that Indian Zeolites and associated minerals are everywhere, but you must appreciate them for what they are. They are simply some of the finest crystallized examples of many of these species extant. This piece features very sharp, highly lustrous, colorless crystals of Apophyllite measuring up to 1.0 cm which have grown over a curing stalactitic Quartz growth. It's an attractive miniature size piece, and will probably end up being a great bargain for somebody. One day (eventually) India will not produce any more of these specimens and they will more than likely receive great recognition for being the amazing display specimens that they are. Keep in mind that Apophyllite is not a Zeolite species, but if often found associated with Zeolites around the world.
