17.5 x 10.8 x 6.8 cm. A large specimen featuring a 13-cm band of super-bright, gemmy light green apophyllite crystals, centered in a field of snow-like stilbite.
15.6 x 9.2 x 7.4 cm. A large combination specimen from India. On a field of sparkly grey quartz, very gemmy and bright colorless apophyllites, with a few accenting salmon-colored crystals of stilbite.
16.9 x 8.9 x 6.1 cm. This is a large specimen featuring three big crystals of apophyllite of the "blocky" form it sometimes takes. The crystals, measuring to 4 cm on edge, are banded, ranging colorless to grassy green. The crystals are surrounded by very pale peachy stilbites and starkly contrasted.
9.1 x 4.4 x 3.5 cm. A fine Cavansite specimen consisting of two separate clusters of Cavansite on a matrix of drusy Quartz and Stilbite. Each Cavansite cluster consists of both radial sprays and balls ranging up to 1.5 cm. The sprays of more individualized, sharp crystals are a more rare habit.
5.4 x 4.9 x 4.4 cm. In its natural vug of surrounding rock; inside is a salmon-pink crystal of heulandite, right nearby a cluster of pearly, creamy stilbite crystals.
23.3 x 13.4 x 3.9 cm. A very different-looking Indian apophyllite specimen! Spread liberally across this very large plate are dozens of translucent crystals of unusual form, with spiky, multi-peaked terminations. Accenting them are hundreds of colorless, translucent crystals of stilbite, as well as a few larger crystals.
20.9 x 18.5 x 8.5 cm. This is quite an amazing specimen, because you have this perfect balance of apophyllites and stilbites all the way across the specimen, rather than bunches of one here and the other there. Both the stilbites and apophyllites measure to about 4 cm. The apophyllites have great luster.
13.9 x 10.5 x 11.4 cm. A fine Indian combination specimen. First, you have a gigantic, complete and doubly-terminated blocky-style crystal of apophyllite (9 cm tall), colorless at one end and a light grassy green at the other. Then, right next to it are these big pearly crystals of very light salmon-colored stilbite, whose unusual size is a perfect complement to the apophyllite. Another complete and doubly-terminated apophyllite is right underneath the stilbites.
7.7 x 7.0 x 5.8 cm. A super glassy, 4.3 cm, upright apophyllite crystal beautifully nestled in lustrous, salmon-pink stilbite bowties from recent finds at Jalgaon, India. The gemmy, four-sided crystal has a light green body with a water-clear, colorless, pyramidal termination. The second, horizontal apophyllite crystal is a very nice touch.
13.5 x 6.8 x 6.0 cm. This exceptional Swiss adularia has a surface like glass, and is highly reflective and attractive. The luster is superb, the crystals show excellent translucence, and the color is pearlescent. In addition, there are some pearlescent 1 cm stilbite crystals perched on the adularia. Ex. Asselborn collection.
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.
4.2 x 3.3 x 2.9 cm. A pristine, complete ball of sparkling, peacock-blue cavansite, measuring 2 cm across, splendidly isolated on a matrix covered with micro sparkly stilbite, with a few larger stilbite crystals present as well.
10.3 x 6.3 x 6.1 cm. This pocket was painstakingly carved out of the matrix intact, to create a truly stunning specimen: a pocket containing a half-dozen pearly stilbite crystals arranged perfectly within the pocket, against a dark background matrix.
6.4 x 4.9 x 3.5 cm. Look at how instead of being basically a ball, the crystals in this cluster are quite definable, with a haystack form. The largest cluster measures 1.5 cm; there are some smaller ones nearby. The cavansites sit on a pretty bed of pearly stilbite crystals.
24.2 x 20.5 x 8.8 cm. A huge plate combining wonderful peach-colored stilbites with blocky apophyllites that show zoning between colorless areas and stripes of green.
