Stilbite blomma. Kristall - Höjd: 9 cm - Bredd: 7 cm- 562 g - (1)
This aesthetic specimen features lustrous, peach-colored Stilbite crystals, exhibiting the classic "wheat-sheaf" or "bow-tie" habit for which the species is world-renowned. The crystals possess a distinct pearly luster on their cleavage faces and a vitreous sparkle throughout, sitting prominently on a natural volcanic basalt matrix. This particular habit is a hallmark of high-quality Zeolite mineralization from the Deccan Traps, where slow hydrothermal cooling allowed for the development of these large, well-defined architectural clusters that are highly coveted by international collectors.
Originating from the Jalgaon District of Maharashtra, India—specifically the famous Savda quarries—this piece represents the global benchmark for saturated peach-to-salmon coloration. Unlike the lighter or white Stilbite often found in the Nashik or Pune regions, the Jalgaon deposits are prized for their intense, uniform hue and aesthetically balanced formations. The specimen is in excellent cabinet condition, boasting pristine, undamaged terminations and a vibrant saturation that provides a dramatic visual contrast against the dark, stable matrix, making it a premier display piece for any serious mineral collection.
