GALLERY
Gallery 10 includes 3 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.

#12 / HEULANDITE - $110
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
high luster, unlike a lot from this find that were somewhat dull. This has the largest crystals I've seen. No damage.
