Peach Stilbite Crystal Cluster on Matrix
A peach-toned stilbite cluster from Pakistan, with overlapping blades and fan-like crystal groups rising above a pale matrix. Soft salmon, cream and pearly-white shades give the specimen a warm, luminous appearance, while the darker host rock on the reverse adds contrast.
The elongated composition has a graceful sculptural quality, with broad crystal faces catching the light at different angles. Its gentle colours and layered texture make it an appealing accent for a mineral cabinet, decorative shelf or small cabinet of curiosities.
Approximate dimensions: 10.7 × 6 × 4.3 cm. Weight: 220 g.
Stilbite belongs to the zeolite family of hydrated aluminosilicate minerals. Its characteristic sheaf- and bow-tie-like aggregates develop as the crystals grow more slowly in their central region than towards the outer edges, producing the spreading forms that give these specimens their distinctive elegance.
