Stilbite on Heulandite Crystal Cluster 9×6×4 cm | 140g

This is a natural Stilbite on Heulandite crystal specimen representing one of the classic zeolite associations found in the basalt-hosted mineral pockets of Maharashtra, India. Specimens from this region are known for pale to white Stilbite crystals developing over or alongside cream, peach, and pinkish Heulandite, often producing attractive layered crystal growth and strong contrast between the two zeolite minerals. Documented Pune District material includes pale Stilbite bow-tie and sheaf-like crystals occurring on lustrous Heulandite, while geological studies of the Deccan Traps confirm Heulandite and Stilbite as important zeolite minerals within these basalt-hosted deposits.

This particular specimen shows a dense arrangement of bright translucent-white Stilbite crystals surrounding larger creamy to honey-toned Heulandite crystals, creating a three-dimensional cluster with varied crystal habits and natural luster. The Stilbite forms numerous delicate blades and aggregates across the Heulandite-rich interior, while the larger Heulandite crystals provide the underlying structure and warm color contrast. Comparable Stilbite-on-Heulandite specimens are documented from Maharashtra and the Deccan Trap region.

This specimen measures approximately 9 × 6 × 4 cm, weighs 140 grams, and is catalogued under SKU: MTX-B147-N734.
