A superb and aesthetic specimen of three spired crystal clusters of of very gemmy, green apophyllite crystals set on a rounded mound of white stilbite coating basalt matrix. The gorgeous and largest central apophyllite crystal cluster on the top of the "mountain" really sets this piece off. This beautiful piece is from the famous, now-closed and classic Pashan Quarries at Poona. Old dealer stock of Dr. Gary Hansen and not shown since the early 1980s! 7.2 x 6.0 x 3.4 cm
