HEULANDITE - included by CELADONITE - $ 45 SOLD Jalgaon, Maharashtra, India thumbnail, 2.5 x 2.0 x 1.2 cm
Toenail, 3 x 2.5 x 2 cm Just a really cute, complete-all-round rosette!
IND37 - Heulandite included by Celadonite - $ 750 SOLD Ahmednagar, Maharashtra, India small cabinet, 7.2 x 4.5 x 4.2 cm
This elegant, pristine, complete-all-around speicmen is the best example I have seen for its size. The quality is superb, featuring a waxy lustre and great curvature and elegance of form all around. It is green throughout except for the very tip of one "frond", which is a stark contrasting white.
INDI-40 - Stilbite included by Celadonite - $ 4000 SOLD Jalgaon, Maharashtra, India large cabinet, 19.7 x 12.5 x 10.0 cm
This artistic natural sculpture is composed of rosettes of bladed stilbite which has been colored green by the mineral celadonite, a potassium, iron, magnesium, silicate. It is also a member of the mica group. The largest rosette measures 10.0 cm across. I have never seen one so large and dramatic, and 3-dimensional! Remarkable!
MD-122873 - Heulandite, Celadonite - - Archived Phool Tamba, Maharashtra, India cabinet, 9.9 x 6.8 x 4.2 cm.
9.9 x 6.8 x 4.2 cm. These heulandites get their pretty green color from inclusions of celadonite - so while the form is familiar for Indian heulandite, the color is very unusual! The larger crystal here measures 3.5 cm. Ex. Feist Collection.
MD-131718 - Celadonite, Stilbite-Ca, Heulandite - - Archived Nasik District, Maharashtra, India small cabinet, 7.9 x 7.5 x 4.3 cm.
7.9 x 7.5 x 4.3 cm. An unusual beast, composed of tiny stilbite crystals in roseate clusters perched atop doubly-terminated little heulandites to 8mm, all colored green (and uniformly and prettily so) by inclusions of celadonite. I have seen many of each species so included, but seldom do you see them together. Beautiful piece from Charlie Key’s Indian suite.
MD-143057 - Heulandite, Celadonite - - Archived Nasik District, Maharashtra, India small cabinet, 5.2 x 2.8 x 2.2 cm.
5.2 x 2.8 x 2.2 cm. A superb floater or "quadruply-terminated" specimen of Huelandite with Caledonite. The pic tells how fantastic the aesthetics are on this incredible piece! The color is unusually even and uniform, a deep grass green. Ex. Charlie Key collection.
MD-168136 - Heulandite, Celadonite - - Archived Nasik District, Maharashtra, India small cabinet, 8 x 7.4 x 3.4 cm.
8 x 7.4 x 3.4 cm. A superb plate of curved Heulandites softly included with pleasant green Celadonite. The curved, highly-modified habit of many of the crystals gives the pieces a fantastic and most unusual appearance. The luster is very good, and the soft mint-green color is extremely pleasing to the eye. The largest Heulandite is 2.7 cm in length. Ex. Charlie Key.
MD-178645 - Stilbite-Ca, Celadonite - - Archived Nasik District, Maharashtra, India small cabinet, 5.9 x 5.3 x 2.8 cm.
5.9 x 5.3 x 2.8 cm. Stilbite takes on this very different-looking green color with mineral inclusions (due to celadonite in this case), so that you are left with familiar-looking zeolite crystallography, but of a very unfamiliar color.
MD-179630 - Heulandite, Stilbite-Ca, Celadonite - - Archived Jalgaon District, Maharashtra, India large cabinet, 17.4 x 14.3 x 8.9 cm.
17.4 x 14.3 x 8.9 cm. A large specimen of heulandite and stilbite crystals that have been included by celadonite to give them their very pretty and unusual green color. The crystals sit on a slightly concave matrix of solid pink stilbite.
MD-180550 - Stilbite-Ca, Celadonite - - Archived Jalgaon District, Maharashtra, India cabinet, 12.9 x 7.4 x 5.8 cm.
12.9 x 7.4 x 5.8 cm. A large specimen of bizarre green stilbite, which gets its color from inclusions of celadonite. This specimen features two large clusters that look like flower blossoms, on a thin matrix.
MD-180895 - Heulandite, Celadonite - - Archived Nasik District, Maharashtra, India small cabinet, 6.2 x 6.1 x 2.3 cm.
6.2 x 6.1 x 2.3 cm. This is a fine Heulandite with Celadonite specimen from the well-known Nasik District. The gracefully curved Heulandites, which range up to about 1.4 cm, have an excellent luster, form, and a very attractive green color imparted by the included Celadonite. Ex. Charlie Key.
MD-191727 - Heulandite, Celadonite - - Archived Aurangabad District, Maharashtra, India cabinet, 9.9 x 7.4 x 5.5 cm.
9.9 x 7.4 x 5.5 cm. This is a cluster of heulandite, familiar from India with a peachy pink color but sometimes from this locality included with celadonite so that it takes on a green color. Ex. Ed David Collection.
MD-201323 - Heulandite-Ca, Celadonite - - Archived Nasik District, Maharashtra, India small cabinet, 6.2 x 3.8 x 3.5 cm.
6.2 x 3.8 x 3.5 cm. A superb complex bowtie of Huelandite with Caledonite that gives the amazing impression of being quadruple-terminated. 6.2 cm long. Ex. Charlie Key.
MD-215489 - Stilbite-Ca, Heulandite-Ca, Celadonite - - Archived Jalgaon District, Maharashtra, India large cabinet, 16.3 x 10.6 x 5.6 cm.
16.3 x 10.6 x 5.6 cm. This is a rare plate showing two species, both included a deep and unusual green color by minute inclusions of celadonite. One seldom sees more than heulandite of such color (even this is uncommon), and to see two species together with the same green hue, is unusual. More than that, it’s just a very pretty, large plate.
MD-215528 - Heulandite-Ca, Celadonite - - Archived Jalgaon District, Maharashtra, India small cabinet, 7.6 x 5.3 x 3.2 cm.
7.6 x 5.3 x 3.2 cm. Round aggregates of heulandite which have been so heavily included and stabilized by celadonite, this may even be considered a pseudomorph as I think there is more celadonite here than heulandite. Ex. Charlie Key.
