This is such a mesmerizing, large cabinet specimen of Stilbite crystals excavated in around May 2020 in Savada, Maharashtra, India, these top quality India Zoelites only came out once and in extremely small, limited quantities.  Stilbite crystals with a beautiful shinny luster interlinked to form into this floral-shaped cluster, so stunning!  They display a striking, distinctive red iron oxide coloration, ascending aesthetics and rarity.  Stilbite may be included or tinted with several iron oxides that can color the crystals in orange, red, black and brown, this is no doubt a textbook example and museum quality of the red category. Natural hollow epimorphs can also be observed.  Associated with shinny, translucent crystals of stalactitic Powellite included Chalcedony, they fluoresces white under longwave UV lighting 365nm with long phosphorescence emission, impressive!  The quality and beauty of the piece make it a very desirable and unique display specimen that would make a wonderful addition to any Indian or worldwide Stilbite collection.  It is so gorgeous that it could be displayed in different orientations.  Comes with a high quality copper wired display stand as pictured.
