Comment: A beautiful formed tetragonal crystal of Apophyllite with Stilbite. Zeolites from India are famous for their beauty and this one is no exception. I first saw them many years ago in a hotel at Pune that I was staying at, that year I came home with a lot of specimens.Those were the days when the airlines were not so avaricious and did not charge the extortionate fees for freight that they do today. This piece is one out of the box a magnificent specimen and one that I am proud to own.A wonderful piece for the zeolite section.
