#05 / HEULANITE - $90
Aurangabad, Maharashtra. India
5 x 4.5 x 3 cm.
Pretty much a floater cluster of green Celadonite included Heulandite crystals in a very aesthetic, 3 dimensional cluster. Viewable from all sides, this one
came out in 1995 when they first hit the market, and those first ones are arguably still the best ones found. Ex Dudley Blawet specimen.

#07 / STELLERITE - $60
Sakur, Maharashtra, India
5.5 x 6 x 4.5 cm.
A super fine group of Stellerite forming a rounded specimen showing the glassy, smooth curved terminations typical of Stellerite from this locale.
This is the next thing to a large floater with only a small light impression on the bottom where it set on some other surface. This type of Stellerite is a must for an Indian
zeolite suite.

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.

6 x 5 x 4 cm.
A group of about six aesthetic Stilbite crystals, the large central crystal being a beautiful double terminated 'bowtie' measuring 6 cm long. It has a salmon

#36 / APOPHYLLITE-(KF) - $125
Nasik, Maharashtra, India
10 x 9 x 5 cm
A very fine, high end Fluorapophyllite on a bed of light tan Heulandite crystals. The large crystal is a tad shy of being 5 cm across, the smaller one a tad over 3 cm.
The color is a light lime and white ( a little lighter than the pics) and the luster is very high. One of the nicest cabinet size Apophyllites on Heulandite that I've had the
pleasure of offering. I've had this in my personal collection since 1988. No damage and very choice.

#25 / APOPHYLLITE-(KF) & STILBITE - $30
Nasik, Maharashtra, India
7.5 x 3.5 x 3.5 cm.
A fine combination piece featuring two doubly terminated Apophyllites with internal color
bands and several peach colored Stilbites, one of which is also doubly terminated. Only
one little point of attachment keeps this from being a floater! Very Choice.

#06 / STELLERITE - $38
Sakur,
Maharashtra, India
5.5 x 4.5 x 3 cm.
The same fellow that had the goosecreekites also had several fine Stellerites in these characteristic rounded crystals with smooth,
lustrous perimeters. This is the most affordable fine quality Stellerite I've ever seen with outstanding form and aesthetics.
