Description
An aesthetic and classic spray of gemmy, green Apophyllite crystals on Stilbite matrix from the famous and now-closed Pashan Quarry at Pune (Poona). The Apophyllite here is superbly formed, sharp edged and excellent terminated. These are considered the best Indian Apophyllites, with the last coming out in the late 1980s. This piece probably dates to the late 1970s to early 1980s. The isolated spray is really cute. The only way to get one like this through recycled collections. Ex Robert Jakob collection.
