A cluster of plump, pale yellow stellerite bowties from Nashik, piled into a rounded, sculptural group and shown on a clear stand. The lobed aggregates have a soft, satiny luster and a warm, buttery color.

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 good small-cabinet example of stellerite.

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. This is why museums around the world display our specimens, including the Smithsonian and the Harvard Mineralogical and Geological Museum.
