Item Description

A striking cluster of pearlescent stilbite blades is dramatically set atop symmetrical balls of brown natrolite blades on this exceptional 360-degree combination from a recent find in 2016 in the Nashik District. The balls are flanked by flesh-colored heulandite crystals. Complete all-around. The stilbites are pristine. The contacted natrolite blade reveals the radial growth of the blades, adding character. Natrolite is VERY RARE from any Maharashtra locality compared to other abundant Zeolite Group species, such a fluorapophyllite and stilbite. This is a good one.
