Outstanding specimen of beautiful light mint green double terminated Apophyllite crystals and creamy white Stilbite crystals on Quartz matrix from the recently dispersed Edward David Collection. Tetravalent vanadium is primarily responsible for the green color.

Scene from Tokyo - A contrast of the old with the new (I have been staying in an apartment in the Prudential Tower in the background)
Guess what this building in Tokyo is - You have seen Godzilla destroy it several times.
One of many marts or small stores in Tokyo where you can get great prepared food - made fresh daily- and its all very tasty.

Growth interference quartz occurs when another mineral grows with a quartz crystal and then dissolves leaving behind a disrupted growth pattern in the quartz. Often the mineral is calcite and this is the case with these growth interference quartz crystals from Dalnegorsk, Russia. They often have the appearance of spiral growth patterns.
The formations on the main Quartz crystal are quite dramatic and the layers appear almost step like. The termination has a very unique formation with a stack of quartz sheets rising from the main face
A nice Stilbite rises from a cluster of gemmy double terminated Apophyllite crystals.
Small gemmy Apophyllite crystals form "halos" on the tips of translucent grayish tinted Quartz crystals on this attractive specimen, which is difficult to photograph and looks much better in person.
Two round or botryoidal Yellow Fluorite crystals on Quartz. These Fluorites are unique to India.
Glistening light salmon colored Stilibite crystals jut out in all directions from a nicely proportioned base of fine Quartz.
Light green Fluorapophyllite crystals with accenting white Stilbite on a grayish matrix.
A beautiful 4x3.5 cm crystal of Goosecreekite is nestled into the right side of this shallow vug. Goosecreekite is one of the rarer zeolites. It is named after the quarry where it was first described, Luck Goose Creek Quarry in Loudon County, Virginia. It forms irregular aggregates and prismatic crystals that are found in the vesicles or bubbles of volcanic rock. Goosecreekite is a rare mineral sought after by collectors of zeolite minerals.
Large plate of pure Malachite made of curved, disc-like aggregates, which makes this specimen different and interesting versus more typical Malachites.
Beautiful specimen (more so in person) of gemmy Calcite crystals with an emerald green color due to micro-inclusions of Malachite.
Sugar cube-like Calcite rhombs, coated with fine sparkling Quartz in a Quartz lined vug.
Aesthetic star-like clusters of clear, glassy Celestine crystals burst from an underlying growth of Sulfur crystals.

Nasik is the "Wine Capital of India", or the "Grape City", as it is popularly known in recent times.
This is a nicely balanced specimen of gemmy light green Apophyllite crystals bridging between left and right clusters of lustrous creamy Stilbite bowties.
Very unique single large compound crystal of lustrous black Sphalerite with triangular, stepped faces and recesses filled with shiny golden Chalcopyrite. Even better in person.
