Fluorapophyllite & Stilbite-Ca on Quartz Quarry at Savada,...
Fluorapophyllite & Stilbite-Ca on Quartz Quarry at Savada, Dharangaon Taluka, Jalgaon District, Maharashtra, India "A cluster of gemmy doubly terminated apophyllite crystals to about 2 inches with lime green centers growing on thin quartz stalactites with a few smaller salmon colored bladed stilbite crystals. Bought in Poona from Dr. Bali." - Rock H. Currier The sheer variety of Indian Zeolites is like a walk through a never-ending candy store. You think you've seen them all, and you're getting jaded, and then you find something like this amongst the 'also-rans' of the Zeolite world. An army of NASA engineers couldn't design something as lovely as this. They would have trouble just coming up with the 'desired features' wish list. Until you see it, even you couldn't imagine it! It has a custom labeled base that makes it stand up and dance. Overall Measurements: 5.5 x 3.1 x 1.6 inches (14.0 x 8.0 x 4.0 cm) Offered at no reserve Provenance: Bought from Dr. Bali [RHC #6841, acquired 1998] [Scale: 1 inch, with mark at 1 cm]
