A sculptural specimen of salmon-pink stilbite on chalcedony stalactites from Nashik. Drusy, greenish-gray chalcedony fingers hang below a corsage of iridescent stilbite bowties, the classic sheaf-like habit of the species.
The contrast between the warm pink stilbite and the cool gray chalcedony is the main attraction, and the matrix has an elegant, flowing shape that displays well from several angles. Condition is excellent, with only a few stalactite tips lightly touched.
Stilbite with chalcedony is a favorite combination from the Deccan Traps basalts, and pieces this delicate, 18 cm long yet only 82 g, are seldom recovered with their stalactites intact.
