One of several specimens marketed as "marshy apophyllite" from a new find in Nasik, that are completely unlike anything I have seen before. My first repsonse was to think them ugly but, really, they are not...the umber-yellow color is really unique and, in combination with the sharp geometry of these floater crystals, quite interesting and appealing in person. This is a complete, undamaged floater! This is from the last show, but since no more was available at Denver and I have thus reposted this holdout from the Springfield Show here 6 x 5.5 x 4.5 cm
