Dimension: 17.1cm x 10.5cm x 4.4cm
Weight: 509g
Locality: Savada, Dharangaon Taluka, Jalgaon District, Maharashtra, India
 
A significant giangantic specimen measuring 17.1cm across was excavated in around May 2020 in Savada, Maharashtra, India, I only have a few of these top quality India Zoelites to offer and this is one of the best. The creamy white “bowtie” shaped Stilbite are partially coated with striking bright red iron oxides, which creates a distinctive coloration and adds further beauty to the piece. Stilbite may be included or tinted with several iron oxides that can color the crystals in orange, red, black and brown, this is for sure a textbook example and museum quality of the red category. Natural hollow epimorphs can also be observed.  Associated with sparkly aggregates of tiny Apophyllite crystals, ascending complexity and rarity.  It is pristine, aesthetic and one-of-a-kind, the photos don't do its justice as the beautiful shinny lustre cannot be captured by cameras. Comes with a high quality copper wired display stand as pictured.
