8.5" Puffy White OKENITE Radiating Crystal Balls on Basalt Matrix India for sale

In 2015, the last of the quarries in India which for years produced okenite were shut down for good, thus ending a run of cheap, easy-to-find specimens of this intriguing zeolite mineral. So suddenly, the Indian dealers jacked up their prices on their remaining okenite specimens, pricing them out of reach of most buyers. I found this one on the table of a German dealer, who had not heard the news, and I was very pleased with the fine quality and excellent coverage (not to mention the fair price). A few of the puffballs are compressed, but the damage is minimal and pretty much unnoticeable.
