A dense cluster of iron-rich, red-orange stilbite from Nashik, built from many rounded sheaves stacked together and shown on a clear stand. The color is deep and even across the whole piece.

Stilbite is normally white, cream or peach. Iron oxide included in or coating the crystals produces this red color, and saturated examples stand apart from the usual pale material.
