Natrolite Crystal Clusters in Vug
Mumbai Quarries, Maharashtra, India
11 x 8 x 6.5 cm
$500
SOLD
Delicate clusters of Natrolite needles safely nestled in a vug.
The Mumbai Quarries have been closed for over 12 years. Recently, however, a small section of the Quarry was exposed for carrying out some house building activity, which enabled the recovery of this nice specimen.
The first recorded find of Dioptase was in the Altyn-Tyube dioptase deposit and initially thought might be an Emerald deposit, but found on analysis to be a new mineral species. This is a very good example of Dioptase from the location.
