GALLERY
Gallery 10 includes 4 pages of outstanding specimens on consignment to me from the collection of a collector
here in the East who cherry picked most of these over the past 20 years and has decided to de-access these
from his extensive collection . . . . and an occasional piece from my own collection.
These are very fine, above the average, so here is an opportunity to add to your suite of India minerals.

Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India
7.5 x 6.5 x 4 cm.
Several really large doubly terminated heulandite crystals colored dark green by included Celadonite. Hard to photograph due to the
