A very gemmy, pale yellow-green calcite crystal set at the center of a round plate of sparkling apophyllite, with small peach stilbite sheaves scattered across it, from Jalgaon district. The calcite is large and transparent, with sharply formed faces and good luster.
The layering of three minerals gives the piece depth: a bright apophyllite base, touches of warm stilbite, and the luminous calcite above. Jalgaon is known for these multi-mineral associations from the Deccan basalts.
A heavy, well-composed display piece at 6.8 lb, and a strong example of Indian calcite on apophyllite.
