Description

In my opinion, this is the most important specimen of this current auction. A superb, cream-white 8.3 cm measuring bow-tie shaped Stilbite cluster associated with smaller ones of the same species. This old-timed superb and highly aesthetic specimen is pristine all around and of course of highest historic value. This specimen was traded by Dr. Hand-Jürgen Wilke in August 1990 with the Mining Institute of Leningrad (St. Petersburg)
