Main crystal size: 2.4 × 2.3 cm = 0.9” × 0.9”

JM97F2: The group is particularly esthetic because the crystals are elongated by the sharp pyramid that accompanies the prism. They are also noticeable for their transparency, brilliance and sharp clear green color.

Specimen size: 8 × 5 × 4 cm = 3.1” × 2.0” × 1.6”

Main crystal size: 3 × 1 cm = 1.2” × 0.4”

JQ6F1: Your eyes are attracted by the softness and chromatic harmony of this combination of three minerals: white Stilbite and Scolecite with crystalline green Apophyllite-(KF). All of this on a base that intensifies it even more, red due to the presence of iron oxides.
Nasik, Maharashtra  India (±1994)

Specimen size: 7 × 5 × 3 cm = 2.8” × 2.0” × 1.2”

Main crystal size: 3.3 × 1.5 cm = 1.3” × 0.6”

Main crystal size: 0.4 × 0.1 cm = 0.2” × 0.0”

JD76E8: Surrounded by small crystals, this is a parallel growth of Chabazite crystals, with well defined edges, and no damage. They are on a matrix of Stilbite and small crystals of Scolecite. Chabazite is not a common mineral in this region, so this is unusual as well as esthetic.
