An impressive, mounded combination plate from Jalgaon. Starbursts, sprays and clusters of glassy, gemmy, bicolored apophyllite are scattered dramatically across a bed of tan stilbite crystals. The apophyllite crystals have rich mint-green bodies grading to colorless terminations, the classic Jalgaon look.
Powellite, a calcium molybdate that fluoresces yellow under shortwave UV, is also present, adding a third species to an already colorful assemblage. Green apophyllite on stilbite is the signature combination of the Jalgaon quarries, and a 20 cm plate with this much activity across its surface is a strong large cabinet example. Collected in 2021.
