This striking specimen showcases rare pentagonite crystals beautifully displayed atop a luminous bed of white stilbite. The crisp, angular geometry of the pentagonite contrasts elegantly with the soft, pearly luster and gently curved crystal forms of the stilbite, creating a visually compelling and harmonious zeolite association. The clean white matrix enhances the visibility and presence of the electric blue pentagonite, allowing each crystal to stand out with clarity and refinement.
Pentagonite is among the rarest members of the zeolite group, and specimens featuring strong aesthetics, intact crystal form, and an attractive matrix are exceptionally difficult to obtain. The stilbite not only provides visual contrast but also represents a classic Indian zeolite pairing, making this piece both mineralogically rare and highly display-worthy.
Dimensions: 3”x2.5”x1.75”

Pentagonite – CaAl₂Si₇O₁₈·7H₂O
A rare calcium aluminum silicate zeolite distinguished by its five-sided crystal symmetry and extreme scarcity.
Stilbite (White) – NaCa₄Al₉Si₂₇O₇₂·28H₂O
A common but highly collectible zeolite known for its bladed to sheaf-like crystal aggregates and pearly luster.
Pentagonite is seldom encountered in quantity, and most fine specimens are already housed in established private and institutional collections. Examples on clean, white stilbite are especially prized, as the neutral matrix dramatically enhances the visual impact of the pentagonite crystals. This specimen represents a classic and highly desirable Indian zeolite combination that appeals to both advanced zeolite specialists and collectors focused on rarity.
Exceptionally rare pentagonite crystals
Clean white stilbite matrix with strong visual contrast
Classic Indian zeolite combination
Well-balanced composition ideal for display
Increasingly difficult species to source in fine condition
Pentagonite has long been regarded as a cornerstone rarity within the zeolite mineral collecting world. With limited known occurrences and no significant new material entering the market, demand for quality specimens remains consistently high. Association pieces on aesthetically pleasing matrices such as white stilbite carry additional premium due to their display quality, positioning this specimen as a compelling long-term addition for collectors focused on both rarity and value preservation.
