A sculptural large-cabinet cluster of soft white stilbite resting on pearly, stalactitic peach heulandite from Jalgaon. Numerous well-formed bladed stilbite groups cover the piece, and many stand free, flaring outward from the heulandite base.

The free-standing stilbite gives the specimen a lively, three-dimensional silhouette with plenty of flash under light. The stalactitic form of the heulandite is less usual than its typical blocky crystals and adds texture beneath the white blades.

Classic Jalgaon material, presented as a well-balanced display piece.
