A miniature of creamy yellow stellerite from Nashik, formed as two stacked, lobed bowtie aggregates with a satiny, waxy luster. A small blade of stellerite crosses the lower bowtie, adding interest when examined up close.
Stellerite is a zeolite closely related to stilbite, and like stilbite it often grows in sheaf-like bowtie aggregates. It is less common than stilbite, and the Nashik area is a reliable source of well-formed bowties.
A compact example of the species.

Each piece is just as it was the day it was discovered in the Indian earth, unaltered, from the mines of Maharashtra to your hands.
