Sharp , lustrous cluster!
4JG52 - Heulandite - $ 95 SOLD Tambor Springs, New South Wales, Australia miniature, 4.3 x 2 x 2 cm
Very lovely crystal from a classic , now-defunct zeolite location. This fanned tabular Heulandite has a superb pearly luster complemented by a stunning light burnt-orange color that is practically iridescent in bright light. A wonderful specimen for the species, and quite desirable for the locality and its wonderful characteristics.
D05-62 - Epistilbite with Heulandite in Quartz geode - $ 750 SOLD Jalgaon, Maharashtra, India small cabinet, 8.5 x 7.2 x 4.2 cm
A slamon-pink cluster of incredibly well-formed euhedral epistilbite crystals, showing tru chisel-type terminations, flanked by two splaying wings of heaulandite! I had this trimmed down from a much larger specimen to highlight the unusual combination, and I think the result is quite unique
IND13 - Heulandite, Stilbite ON Apophyllite ON Calcite - $ 750 SOLD Jalgaon, Maharashtra, India cabinet, 9.6 x 6.6 x 4.4 cm
In the galaxy of the many wonderful Indian pieces that we have, this one certainly shines bright. The core of the piece is a stalactite of clear 2-3 cm Apophyllites, which is lovely in and of itself. To cap it off, the core of the stalactite, on which the apophs perch, is an elongated calcite twin coated with drusy quartz that shows through in some spots (the calcite is visible only at the base, the bottom)! Perched along one side is a classic 7 cm peach-colored Stilbite bowtie, with one side-crystal attached for added drama. On top of the stalactite are two beautiful pink Heulandite fans, the largest of which is 4 cm long. And if all this wasn’t enough, the Heulandites and Stilbites are covered with a druse of sparkling Apophyllite crystals, which make the crystals appear as if they were covered by the pristine snow of Vermont. An absolute killer, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON, and far from the common variety.
IND22 - Heulandite on Chalcedony - $ 950 SOLD Nasik, Maharashtra, India cabinet, 9.4 x 6.9 x 4.2 cm
A visually dramatic piece featuring a 4 cm salmon/red-colored Heulandite that has great luster and superb gemminess for the species. The color is unusually intense. The large Heulandite rests in a forest of very fine Chalcedony "straws," which helps create the incredible aesthetics of the piece. The several smaller Heulandites add accents to the piece. Truly wonderful specimen with unique aesthetics!
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.

On a basaltic matrix along with dark gray chalcedony, is perched one of the better heulandite fans, I have seen. The glassy luster, translucence, and pastel salmon color, are exquisite, especially in contrast to the dark matrix. The fan measures 7.0 cm across. In addition, there is a 1.5 cm pearlescent, doubly terminated stilbite crystal on the heulandite. Wow!

MD-112887 - Heulandite - - Archived Veranópolis, Rio Grande do Sul, South Region, Brazil small cabinet, 6.3 x 4.8 x 3.6 cm.
6.3 x 4.8 x 3.6 cm. When you hear heulandite, you think India - but no, Brazil actually produced some fine ones as well! They are admittedly not as pretty as the common Indian ones, but are an unusual example of a Brazilian zeolite mineral, and you do not see them on the market often at all. Old, too, found probably 30 years ago and more.

8 x 4.5 x 3 cm. Exceptional specimen of deep reddish-black Heulandite with two gorgeous Apophyllites. The Heulandite, so unusual and attractive in color and 4 cm in size, has a good, almost metallic luster, and a stepped bowtie habit. Both major Apophyllites, the largest of which is 3.5 cm, are gemmy and highly lustrous. Ex. Steve Smale Collection.
