A DRAMATIC sculptural CABINET cluster of lustrous, cream-colored stilbite crystals on contrasting pink matrix from Ahmadnagar, India. No broken crystals, except for a couple of points of contact. Choice material from the Lewadny Collection. The piece must be seen in person, to be fully appreciated. 12.3 x 9.2 x 7.0 cm
We bought the lion''s share of the good specimens from this pocket discovered early this year in India. They consist of pretty salmon-pink stilbite bowties growing in assocation with dove-grey quartz stalactites. 4.2 x 3.1 x 2.4cm
A GORGEOUS, 7 mm spray of transparent, royal-blue pentagonite blades beautifully perched atop an aesthetically-shaped specimen of tiny, sparkly stilbite crystals coating basalt from the famous Wagholi Quarrry. 6.8 x 5.5 x 3.5 cm
A 1.5-cm single ball and a 2-cm double-ball of intense peacock-blue cavansite, isolated on a matrix of stilbite. The cavansite clusters are pristine and undamaged. NOT common quality! 9.2 x 6.6 x 5.1cm
A shimmering "bowtie" of stilbite, complete all around and standing on end on a carefully-trimmed matrix! Ruggiero''s card shows it to have been acquired in 1980. 7.9 x 5.7 x 4.3cm
A whopper cluster of light pink-orange stilbite blooms from Jalgaon, on a stark white contrasting matrix that is really just a thin crust supporting the stilbites ( a "cast" that was deposited on the surface of another rock). Very showy! 14.3 x 9.5 x 8.7cm
We bought the lions share of the good specimens from this single-pocket find in India earlier this year. They feature salmon-colored stilbite "bowties" on stalactitic gray quartz. 5.5 x 2.6 x 2.5cm
We bought the lion''s share of the good specimen from this pocket, a one-time find last year in Jalgaon. The specimens combine beautiful, silky bowtie stilbites with sparkly, dove-gray stalactites of quartz. 5.7 x 5.1 x 4.2cm
A VERY ARTISTIC, pristine, elongated Indian CABINET specimen of lustrous, cream-colored stilbite crystals to 5.2 cm on a nicely contrasting pink cristobalite matrix. CHOICE material from the Lewadny Collection. 11.7 x 5.7 x 4.6 cm
We bought the lion''''s share of the good specimen from this pocket, a one-time find last year in Jalgaon. The specimens combine beautiful, silky bowtie stilbites with sparkly, dove-gray stalactites of quartz. 6.2 x 5.8 x 4.5cm
An aesthetic, 2.5 cm, lustrous, royal-blue cavansite crystal cluster jauntily perched atop stilbite-covered basalt from the famous Wagholi Quarry of India. 4.1 x 3.8 x 2.1 cm
A UNIQUE, old-time CABINET combination piece from the famous Prospect Park Quarry in New Jersey. This pocket specimen is dominated by an undamaged, 7.5 cm, lustrous, translucent, gray calcite crystal and is surrounded by tiny laumontite needles, brown stilbite blades, and botryoidal, green prehnite. Really complex and interesting old piece! The whole specimen rests on anhydrite casts after laumontite. Ex Rutgers University. 11.7 x 7.5 x 6.0 cm
An EXCELLENT and UNCOMMON speicmen of lustrous, tan stilbite blades from the famous Malmberget iron mines in Sweden. The back of the crystal is partially casted, probably after a calcite crystal, for which the mine is renowned. VERY RARE in such size and quality. 6.9 x 4.0 x 3.9 cm
A cluster of INTENSELY gemmy - the absolute top in quality - apophyllite crystals, beautifully centered on a matrix of silky stilbite crystals. I think the pics show pretty well how amazingly glassy and fine these crystals are - the best of the best, as they say! Though there are plenty of zeolite specimens out there, very few reach this level of quality. 5.1 x 5.1 x 4.4cm
Two fine "ball" clusters of bright cavansite, each around 1.3 cm, on a bed of sparkly stilbite crystals - the specimen has really pretty overall form! 9.2 x 6.5 x 3.7cm
