Stilbite on Drusy Quartz - Nasin, Maharashtra, India

Indian zeolites make the best (affordable) display specimens in my opinion and here is a good example. This piece has good coverage of salmon-coloured stilbite crystals against a contrasting dark matrix. The matrix itself is covered in a fine druse of quartz crystals giving extra flash to the specimen. There is no damage to any of the stilbite crystals. Certainly quite attractive.
