We creamed the best specimens from this small, one-time find in India ealier this year. Very pretty and unique combo! 4.3 x 3.2 x 3.0 cm
A stunning specimen, with two GLASSY, blocky crystals of apophyllite (to 3 cm on edge), absolutely pristine and with cool bevels on the corners, standing up perfectly off the matrix. Light pink stilbites add an attractive accent. This specimen was trimmed out perfectly into a beautifully balanced and just spectacular piece. Amongst the plentitude of specimens coming from India, a few really stand out! 8.5 x 7.8 x 4.7 cm
A BEAUTIFUL and aesthetic specimen of two clusters of very gemmy, royal-blue, pentagonite blades on a vug lined with stilbite from the very recent find at the Wagholi Quarry. The clusters are perched jauntily on the matrix. The longest blade is 5 mm. 4.8 x 3.0 x 2.2 cm
A very aesthetic Indian specimen of lustrous, salmon-pink stilbite blades on translucent, drusy, quartz stalactites from Jalgaon. Ex Marty Lewadny Collection. 6.7 x 3.7 x 3.0 cm
A blocky apophyllite with GLASS-like luster, with a pretty "green stripe" center, decorated with pastel pink stilbites. This is a large and superb apophyllite crystal! The crystal features pretty bevels on the corners. The back of this piece is a natural contact face. the front display is dramatic as heck and really leaps out! 7 x 6 x 4.2 cm
We bought the lions share of the specimen from this one-time find, a single pocket encountered early this year. The specimens are shimmering, salmon-colored stilbite bowties on stalks of sparkly dove-gray stalactitic quartz. 4.9 x 1.9 x 1.6cm

The big, blocky apophyllite crystal has a GLASSY luster, and is zoned with a darker green section in the middle. It sits amidst shimmering pink stilbites. 7.6 x 6.0 x 3.5cm
A large SHOWPIECE of a zeolite specimen, with a cluster of silky, shimmering cream-colored stilbite bowties (to 5.5 cm) on a stark white contrasting matrix peppered with smaller, nicely-isolated, deep salmon-pink stilbites! Even amongst so many stilbites out there, this one is most unusual! Ex. Lance Cook collection. 14.0 x 13.0 x 3.9cm
For its size, this is one of the finest, most interesting cav's I have seen lately of the ball-style, as i call it. It features about 10 of them intergrown to form a rather large cluster winding very aesthetically across the top of this stilbite matrix, and creating a stark contrast! It is pristine and complete all around, and very 3-dimensional. Front and back shots are shown. 8 x 3.7 x 3.3 cm
An unusual, and highly attractive, ball of stilbite perched on matrix. nice! 3.1 x 2 x 1.7 cm

Gemmy and lustrous, doubly terminated, colorless to light green apophyllite-(KF) growing around lustrous, bladed, light salmon-pink, bladed stilbite on matrix from Jalgaon. Pretty material from the Hauck Collection, probalby from the 1970s. 4.6 x 4.2 x 3.7 cm
