You just have to take Indian minerals seriously when they get this exquisite - a large CROSS consisting of two intergrown, doubly-terminated stilbites of a delicate peachy-pink color. It is complete ALL AROUND and perched on a small base of stalactitic quartz, to boot. A striking and desirable specimen by any standards, head and shoulders above the mass of zeolite specimens, and certainly deserving of a place in a fine collection whereas we might look down on many others. 8.5 x 6.5 x 3.8 cm
