This specimen features a striking cluster of sharp, bladed, peach-orange stellerite crystals, the aggregate is doubly terminated and beautifully accented by several mounds of sparkling drusy quartz at the base. These are among the finest stellerite crystals in the world, originating from what many would consider a relatively obscure zeolite producing locality. Although both stilbite and stellerite are well-represented among Indian minerals on the market, this piece stands out for its rich orange hue, impressive crystal size, and overall quality. The thick, sword-shaped bladed crystals are completely free of matrix, and in excellent condition—with no damage except for where it was detached from matrix at the base. For collectors of zeolites or Australian minerals, this is a remarkable example of stellerite.
