A large, doubly terminated stilbite bow-tie with a broad, well-developed form, set on a matrix of chalcedony and basalt. The highly lustrous, translucent, cream-colored stilbite is complemented by numerous bright apophyllite crystals scattered across the matrix.
The composition is the strength of this piece: the bow-tie flares symmetrically at both ends, giving it the outline of a double fleur-de-lis, and the apophyllite adds sparkle without crowding it. Jalgaon consistently produces some of the best stilbite in India, and this small cabinet specimen is a fine, balanced example. Collected in 2021.
