Golden honey-colored stilbite balls stacked one above another into a sculpted, snowman-like column, from Nashik, in a museum-sized specimen. The rounded aggregates have a fine, sparkling surface and a rich, warm color throughout.

Stilbite more often forms flat bowties, so rounded balls stacked into a column are an unusual habit. The saturated honey color and strong three-dimensionality make the piece stand out.

A large display specimen at nearly 6 lb.
