A fine and unusual large cabinet specimen from older finds near Poona, India. This distinctly biological-looking specimen has pearlescent stilbite blades scattered on the rounded, drusy quartz growths rising up from the flat plate of drusy quartz. Note that the stilbite blades are restricted to the "growths" and are not on the plate, itself. Ex. Peter Bancroft Collection. This is material from the 1970s or early 1980s.
