Natural Orange Calcite with White Stilbite Crystal Cluster – 60 g

Beautiful Natural Orange Calcite with White Stilbite Crystal Cluster, featuring abundant bright orange to golden-yellow crystals densely covering a contrasting white to cream mineral base. The specimen displays numerous closely packed crystals with a blocky, rhombohedral-looking habit, creating an exceptionally rich and textured crystal surface.

The orange Calcite forms the dominant visible crystal layer, while contrasting white to cream Stilbite aggregates occur throughout the specimen and around the crystal clusters. The combination creates a striking orange-and-white appearance with excellent natural crystal coverage.

Calcite and Stilbite are a documented association in Maharashtra's Deccan Trap zeolite-bearing region. Mindat records Calcite with Stilbite from several Maharashtra localities, including Jalgaon, Pune, and Nashik districts. Golden Calcite associated with Stilbite has also been documented from Pandulena Hills, Nashik. (Mindat)

The specimen measures 11 × 7 × 2 cm and weighs 60 g, making it a relatively lightweight, shallow-profile specimen with a broad crystal-covered display face.

Geological Note

Calcite and Stilbite commonly occur together in zeolite-bearing basalt cavities of India's Deccan Trap province. Documented Maharashtra specimens include Calcite associated with Stilbite from Jalgaon, Pune, and Nashik districts. Mindat also documents golden Calcite occurring with Stilbite at Pandulena Hills, Nashik.

Please Note: This is a natural mineral specimen. Natural variations in color, crystal formation, transparency, texture, inclusions, fractures, cavities, chips, matrix, contact areas, and surface characteristics are expected and contribute to the uniqueness of each specimen.
