Stilbite-Ca, Calcite
This is a large, grapefruit-sized rosette of salmon-pink crystals of stilbite from the classic Deccan trap locality in India. It is really much more 3-dimensional and larger than usual. Ed liked his Indian minerals to have significance beyond the common, and for its size, this qualifies. However, it also has a nice accent of little yellow calcite crystals and, something more rare - attached matrix in back. Most of these pop off or form as floaters on apophyllite, while this has real matrix behind it (forming a nice display base). Ex. Ed David Collection.
