Sharp, outstanding crystals of translucent to transparent Apophyllite from Savada, Jalgaon District, Maharashtra Province, India.  The Apophyllite crystals exhibit tapered terminations evenly scattered on creamy white botryoidal Calcite crystals.  The radiating crystals of Calcite remind me of blue Cavansite, with similar crystal structure and habits.  A thick layer of peachy orange Stilbite forms the base of this piece which have a remarkable sheen.  A very unique, visually entrancing specimen from this famous locale!
