Apophyllite on Stilbite

Item Description

These zeolites offered at auction are from a private collection specializing in such, and he cherrypicked over the last 20 years from many finds. THIS IS NOT your common quality Indian combo. It is superb, and features a nearly 9-cm, pristine, glassy apophyllite crystal crossed by a 5 cm peach-pink stilbite cluster. The apophyllite has luster so high and glassy, it looks polished - really top percentile in this regard. The tips are extremely gemmy, more than the photos show. I rate this, as a small cab example of this classic combination, very highly. The piece is also pristine and complete all around. Valued $900-1250
