18.2 x 12.2 x 7.6 cm. A pocket wall with a variety show going on. In one place is a cluster of densely intergrown, pale pastel-pink stilbites, looking like a pretty flow. Right beside it is a cluster of blocky green apophyllite crystals with a sugary coating of micro-stilbite. And at the other end of the plate rises a lone stilbite crystal, strangely standing on end and isolated. All on a field of pretty colorless to light peach 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. A large, impressive combination specimen from India.
A gorgeous and lustrous non-symmetrical salmon-pink stilbite bowtie beautifully set on a crust of sharp transparent to translucent apophyllite crystals of two generations. All of the major crystals are undamaged and the bit of periphery damage at the top of the specimen is does not detract from the overall quality of this piece. 9.5 x 8.7 x 6.8 cm
Dramatic specimen composed of a long cluster of intergrown stilbite wheatsheaves, one upon the other, and very impressive for size and quality! 12.6 x 6.2 x 5.8 cm
An AESTHETIC and SUPERB cluster of lustous, pristine salmon-pink stilbite crystals on chalcedony matrix with a couple of fluorapophyllite crystals from Jalgaon, India. Ex Steve Neely Collection #581….so you know that, relative to others, its gonna be very good. 9.7 x 6.5 x 6.0 cm
5.9 x 5.9 x 4.3 cm. This now-rare old New Jersey zeolite specimen came with a crusty old label from the "Mineral Collection of A. M. Hageman". It is a plate of translucent (unlike Indian stilbites) crystal sprays to 1.5 cm.
5.2 x 6 x 3 cm. Here is a gemmy, blocky-style crystal of apophyllite, with a couple of small sidecar apophyllites and accenting crystals of peachy-pink stilbite.
6 x 4.2 x 3.7 cm. A fine 5.7 cm Silbite bowtie sitting perfectly across a Quartz stalactite. The luster is superb, and the salmon color is striking. There are several smaller Stilbites growing from the knot of the bowtie. Ex. Charlie Key.
14.4 x 12.4 x 10.9 cm. Mordenite is one of the rarer members of the zeolite group of minerals. The mordenite here has formed fine sprays of radial acicular crystal clusters that look like giant snowballs; together, they measure 14 cm across. The stilbite matrix has been wonderfully (and laboriously) trimmed underneath and around the sides to make a perfect setting for the two mordenite balls.
22.4 x 13.9 x 12.4 cm. This is a very large pocket, painstakingly cut out of the matrix intact to form a sort of clamshell shape, filled with blooms of glistening heulandite and stilbite - the fanned heulandite of a pearly luster, and the stilbite a shimmering peach color. These two closely-related zeolites are frequently found together. The dark matrix inside the pocket is sprinkled with micro-stilbites of a dove-gray color.
12.9 x 12.4 x 10.3 cm. A large, beautiful Indian specimen: this, an intact pocket, excavated painstakingly out of the matrix intact, chock full of peach-colored stilbites. Isolated on this contrasting background are two strikingly green compound crystals of apophyllite, the larger of them with bright and gemmy multiple terminations.
16.4 x 14.4 x 6.3 cm. Here, isolated in the midst of a field of shimmering, very light pastel peach stilbites, is a gem cluster of apophyllite with deep green color. The cluster bursts out in both directions from the center.
A CHOICE miniature of Himalaya stilbite, with rich chocolatey color! Ex. Tim Sherburn Collection 3.6 x 3.2 x 2.7 cm
Exceptional miniature for the species from any US locale, much less the HImalaya where such rich stilbite specimens are extremely rare~! 5.5 x 4 x 2.9 cm
A drapery of stilbite, which is quite rare from the mine, coating a slender tourmaline crystal! 5.7 x 1.9 x 1.6 cm
