AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

I am offering here an unusually large and richly crystal-coated mineral specimen from my collection.
The specimen comes from India and consists, to my knowledge, of apophyllite with peach-colored stilbite. It is densely set with crystals on nearly the entire top surface.
Particularly striking are the numerous clear to slightly greenish, glassy apophyllite crystals in varying sizes.
Between them there are numerous peach-colored stilbite crystals and larger crystal clusters. One of the larger clear crystals measures about 5.5 x 2.3 cm.
Dimensions: approx. 26 x 17 x 6 cm
Weight: 1,794 g
Origin: India
I bought the specimen a few years ago at the mineral show in Munich directly from an Indian dealer. He had several specimens of the same origin on offer at the time. The exact locality is no longer known to me, therefore I do not want to make an uncertified statement about it.
The photos show the offered original specimen from various sides as well as the underside.
Due to the numerous freely standing crystals, this is a delicate collectible piece.
