Description

Okenite
Pune District, Pune Division, Maharashtra, India
26.2 x 16.4 x 8.6 cm (10.3 x 6.5 x 3.4 in)

This exceptional specimen features a cluster of bright white, fibrous Okenite "puffballs," with the largest reaching up to 4.1 centimeters in diameter. The delicate, hair-like crystals radiate outward in perfect spherical formations, each shimmering with a soft, glassy luster that lends a subtle, glistening effect across the surface. Most of the Okenite is nestled across the center of a sturdy matrix, which is further enriched by a scattering of translucent, pale green Gyrolite spheres and a cascading bed of snow-white Stilbite crystals.

More Information: This piece is in excellent condition with some minor points of wear on the Okenite clusters, which is common due to the Okenite's brittle nature.
