Latin America, Mexico; South Asia, India, ca. millions of years. A wonderful mineral and crystal collection of 4 stunning formations! The first, which looks like a fantastical cloud, is a large cluster of glassy and pale green apophyllite prisms rising from creamy pink tinged stilbite foundation. The next is a rose quartz cluster with dozens of faceted prims. Third is a glimmering silvery black sphalerite with semi-translucent quartz rising from the top, and an area of golden pyrite has formed on one side. Last is a stunning ?spray? of needle shaped scolecite crystals. These four minerals are a beautiful collection that would be amazing decorative pieces.
