The famous quarries around Jalgaon continue to produce a stunning variety of specimens and this is certainly a prime example. A unique column of sparkly, gem-like, smoky and colorless, drusy quartz crystals rises above the floor of the very well-prepared cabinet vug and contacts the other side of the vesicle, as basalt is still attached to the tip of the column. A 1.0 cm, gem, amber calcite rhomb attached to the side of the column is a fine accent. Lustrous, colorless stilbite blades beautifully highlight the undulating floor of the vug covered with smoky, drusy quartz with colorless, drusy quartz on the larger crystals. This is an unusual and striking Jalgaon specimen. Ex. Saller Collection of Germany.
