A fine large cabinet specimen from recent finds at Jalgaon, India. The curved, snow-like, drusy quartz-lined vug is beautifully accented on the right with a 2.2 cm wide spray of sharp, very gemmy and glassy, green apophyllite crystals. A large, 3.2 cm wide x 3.0 cm high stilbite floret, 2 stilbite bowties (the largest is 3.3 cm), and a pair of crossed stilbite crystals nicely line up on the middle of the vug with the apophyllite spray. Nearly invisible, small, saddle-shaped heulandite crystals are scattered on the drusy quartz as a further compliment to this excellent, large, combination specimen.
