Beautiful stalactite of bright, very gemmy Apophyllites that are absolutely water-clear, and range in size up to 3.5 cm, though most are about 2 cm. Intergrown are sharp, light salmon blades of Stilbite that have incredible pearly luster. The larger Stilbites, up to 2.2 cm, develop into beautiful fans that begin to exhibit the well-known bowtie habit. Ex. Steve Smale Collection.
