Fluorapophyllite with Stilbite

Item Description

A gorgeous and dramatic cabinet piece of intricately terraced green apophyllites to 4.3 x 4 cm across, with cityscape-like terminations that are VERY uncommon and interesting. The crystals have a floral arrangement, very 3-dimensional, and accented by minor stilbite association. This specimen was one of only a few dozen pieces of size and quality from this pocket, which I bought perhaps 4-5 years ago at the Costa Mesa show from a single lot with one dealer. It cost me nearly $1000 then and is worth considerably more now, I feel, $1500-2000. It is in remarkably pristine condition, and has more sparkle to it in person.
