Stilbite on Pink Heulandite — Pune, Maharashtra, India
This attractive natural mineral specimen features Stilbite crystals beautifully associated with pink Heulandite, a classic zeolite combination from the famous mineral-producing region of Pune District, Maharashtra, India. Documented Pune specimens show pale tan, peach, and pink Stilbite growing on lustrous pink Heulandite, producing a soft but highly distinctive color contrast.
The Stilbite commonly develops as attractive bladed, sheaf-like, or bow-tie aggregates with a pearly to vitreous luster, while Heulandite can display pink to salmon coloration and well-developed wedge-shaped or tabular crystals. Pune District is particularly well known for this type of zeolite association, and collector specimens containing both minerals are actively documented and traded.
Measuring approximately 9 × 6 × 4 cm and weighing 130 grams, this is a substantial small-cabinet collector specimen suitable for a mineral collection, Indian zeolite collection, geological display, or natural-history cabinet.
Natural variations in crystal size, color, luster, transparency, contact areas, inclusions, minor chips, and irregular growth are part of the specimen's geological character and make each piece unique.
