A cabinet specimen built around a wide, doubly terminated stilbite bowtie set prominently on blocky basalt matrix from Jalgaon. The stilbite is lustrous, translucent and cream-colored, and its broad, flared ends give it the look of a paired fleur-de-lis.
Numerous glossy, bone-white bladed heulandite crystals cover the surrounding matrix and set off the warmer tone of the stilbite. The bowtie habit, a sheaf of crystals pinched at the waist and fanned at both ends, is the classic form of stilbite, and examples this wide and well-defined stand out.
Jalgaon has long supplied some of the best stilbite and heulandite combinations from the Deccan Traps, and this is a strong, display-ready example of the pairing.
