A very showy and aesthetic CABINET specimen of highly lustrous translucent to transparent colorless octohedral apophyllite crystals to 3 cm on massive green prehnite on basalt matrix from Bombay, India. This is old and choice Bombay material as all of the Bombay area quarries have been closed for years due to poplulation growth. Old dealer stock of Dr. Gary Hansen and not shown since the early 1980s! 14.0 x 9.8 x 6.3 cm
