A one-time find from Jalgaon, and an unusual one: bright orange stilbite paired with marshy green apophyllite, a color combination that rarely turns up together in the Deccan Traps. The stilbite forms a lustrous cluster of bladed crystals that spreads across the whole specimen, catching light from almost every angle.

The apophyllite owes its swampy green tone to fine chlorite inclusions, the same chlorite that coats parts of the chalcedony matrix. Marshy apophyllite of this kind is a Jalgaon specialty, and seeing it grown alongside saturated orange stilbite rather than the usual peach or white gives this large cabinet piece real visual punch.

Recovered in 2019, it is a three-dimensional specimen with enough presence to anchor a shelf on its own.
