Description

Superb miniature consisting of textbook stilbite crystals populating a small but rich geode. Great pearly lustre and damage-free.
The specimen comes from Erberdo Tealdi's collection, a renowned Italian collector, who collected the specimen with Rudy Tschernich, the zeolite legend himself! The specimen now resides in my collection, unless a reasonable offer is made.
