An old-school classic from the Savda quarries of Jalgaon district: an open geode lined with white chalcedony and coated calcite, holding a flower-like cluster of sharp, well-terminated deep green apophyllite with a touch of dark red stilbite beside it. Four minerals in one piece, with undamaged terminations and strong natural luster.
The green and dark red combination is rarely seen in modern finds. Although the Savda quarries are still worked, specimens with this balance and color saturation reportedly surface only about once in three years.
Weighing 1,678 g, it is a heavy, compact specimen and a strong centerpiece for an Indian collection.
