Comment: A simply elegant and aesthetic Indian specimen of moderately lustrous, distinct heulandite crystals colored green by celadonite on a thin crust of matrix from Shakur, India. This superb specimen is from the Dr. Ed David Collection and is mounted in a custom-made, baked clay base. From a small find in the mid 90s. This is a particularly pleasant shade of color.
