A tall-standing and beautifully arranged combination specimen presenting well-formed, lustrous crystals of Stilbite and Apophyllite (or 'Fluorapophyllite' in modern mineralogical nomenclature) across a white and dark grey matrix. The Apophyllite has sharply-formed, blocky crystals that are evenly distributed throughout the specimen, featuring the largest crystal (7.8 centimeters) near the peak of the specimen; each Apophyllite is translucent and have a colorless to pale green color that darkens towards the center of each crystal. Each of the Stilbite crystals are terminated and offer an overall better color balance to the specimen. This piece comes with a custom acrylic base.
