Item Description

A VERY RARE and excellent 360-degree small cabinet combination from Nashik. Natrolite is VERY RARE from any Maharashtra locality compared to other abundant Zeolite Group species, such a fluorapophyllite and stilbite. A 5.0 cm, dramatically symmetrical ball of tan natrolite blades is aesthetically set on matrix on this exceptional combination from a recent 2016 in the Nashik District. The ball jauntily rests on a crust of flesh-colored heulandite crystals strikingly accented with pearlescent stilbite blades, to 2.5 cm. Complete all-around and pristine. This is an outstanding and rare combination natrolite specimen from the find. The piece looks great from either side. Valued by the former dealer at $1400.
