Item Description

The majority of the minerals (mostly zeolites) found in the Deccan Trap of India are the finest crystallized representations of their respective species ever found. From common to rare minerals, the majority of what you see out of this basalt flow represents the best of what many species have to offer. This piece is a great example of said material featuring a fine quality group Stilbite-Ca of a pale golden-peach color comprising individual bladed crystals that have formed a "bow tie"-shaped aggregate with additional Stilbite crystals on very minor matrix. The piece is very showy and three dimensional, with no major damage that I can see. A very attractive specimen of this classic material. From the collections of Charles F. Lewis and Lee Petersen.
