An exceptional combination piece pairing one of the finest Indian calcites we have handled with lustrous apophyllite. The centerpiece calcite is outstanding along its front edge, which shows superb luster and excellent gemminess and also marks the main twinning plane.
What sets the calcite apart are two wing-like extensions at opposite ends of that plane, which appear to be twins following a much less common twinning law. Twinned calcite is studied for exactly this kind of geometry, and seeing two such wings developed on one crystal is unusual.
The apophyllite completes the composition, adding a second crystal habit beside the calcite. At over 2 kg, this is a heavy, substantial cabinet specimen from Jalgaon, collected in 2021.
