11.0 x 8.0 x 6.3 cm. A rare and unusual 2.4 cm, hoppered apophyllite crystal centralized amidst pearlescent, fat stilbite blades on this cabinet combination piece from Khadakvasia, near Poona, India. Ex. Phil Scalisi Collection.
16.3 x 15.8 x 7.5 cm. A large, pretty zeolite plate from India featuring a bloom of peachy stilbite on a bed of glassy, sparkly apophyllites, which themselves sit on grey quartz. The stilbite cluster measures about 9 cm across.
11.9 x 8.5 x 6.8 cm. Sharp apophyllite crystals to 5.5 cm with peachy stilbites. The apophyllites have transparent green centers with colorless terminations on the ends.
7.0 x 6.4 x 4.0 cm. Inesite and apophyllite are uncommon enough species from the famous mines at Broken Hill. This fine, two-sided, combination piece features radiating sprays of highly lustrous and chatoyant, acicular, brown inesite crystals with glassy, translucent, colorless apophyllite crystals. The apophyllite crystals reach 1.5 cm and the inesite needles reach 2.4 cm, which is large for the species and locality. Ex. George Elling Collection.
20.4 x 16.8 x 6.8 cm. This is a very large plate Indian combination specimen. There is a gorgeous balance here of large, gemmy apophyllites (to 5 cm) with peachy, pearly stilbites on a gently curving, concave matrix.
8.9 x 8.9 x 8.4 cm. A strikingly sculptural specimen of colorless apophyllite crystals that have intergrown with one another and with pearly stilbites - with a later generation of tiny, snow-like apophyllites on stalactitic extensions from the center of the specimen.
20.4 x 5.4 x 4 cm. A superb plate of steeply-terminated fluorapophyllite crystals set upon milky stilbite crystals.
25.0 x 19.0 x 8.5 cm. A superb, large Indian combination specimen. In the center of a field of large, cream to peach-colored stilbites is a cluster of super bright and gemmy green apophyllites, to 8 cm in length. The apophyllites are wonderfully centered along a strip running through the pearly stilbites.
7.6 x 5.2 x 4.8 cm. This old zeolite specimen features sharp, stark white analcime crystals with a high ceramic-like lustre, and minor yellowish bladed apophyllite in association.
A dramatic LARGE CABINET vug of lustrous and transparent colorless fluorapophyllite crystals to 3.7 cm with a line of light pink stilbite blades on sparkly druzy quartz matrix from Jalgaon, India. ALL of the crystals are pristine. I like this plate so much because it displays the natural context in which they form a lot more clearly than in smaller specimens 16.5 x 10.7 x 5.5 cm
A gorgeous and dramatic CABINET specimen of intricately city-scaped lustrous green fluorapophyllite crystals to 4.3 x 4.0 cm with a scattering of stilbite from a SINGLE FIND in Jalgaon, India. The crystals have a floral arrangement. Very striking! This specimen is one of a few dozen pristine pieces of size, with good combinatorial aesthetics, to have come from thispocket in the lot I saw at Costa Mesa. 13.0 x 9.7 x 7.5 cm
6.2 x 5.9 x 2.8 cm. A rare, old, and fine Virginia zeolite. These rectangular, flat, milky apophyllite crystals have grown together in a stacked form; they measure to about 4.5 cm in length. You can see bits of prehnite here and there.
13.2 x 8.9 x 7.4 cm. Large, gemmy apophyllites with blocky form and flat terminations, intergrown with pearly, light peach-colored blooms of beautiful stilbite in a fine balance.
8.5 x 6.7 x 4.1 cm. Goosecreekite is a rare zeolite group species, worldwide and also from the Deccan Traps of India. This is a superb, large, 5.8 cm across, spherical aggregate of wedge-shaped crystals with milky white color and a silky lustre. The huge goosecreekite shares the vug with glassy and gemmy, colorless aphophyllite crystals, a rare and unusual combination. Ex. George Elling Collection.
6.4 x 6.3 x 3.8 cm. A superb hemispherical cluster of short-prismatic, green to white apophyllite crystals with basal pinacoid terminations from the 2001-2002 finds from a well in Rahuri, India. These gorgeous, gemmy and glassy crystals, with different heights, look like blocky towers in a curved landscape.
