Item Description

This aesthetic and rare for the locale combination features an impressive and pristine spiky white thomsonite 'ball' resting on pearlescent, flesh-colored stilbite blades. Another bladed stilbite cluster on one side adds contrast and pizzazz. Thomsonite, a Zeolite Group species, is very rare from Jalgaon, compared to abundant stilbite and apophyllite and is found ONLY at less well-known Shendurni. The basal periphery wear is certainly only a modest detraction. This is a beautifully balanced two-sided combination of this uncommon species from this less well-known Jalgaon locale.
