A little step or a little steep?

They all appear to be from the Deccan traps in Maharashtra India and commonly seen at rock shops, shows and online. Prices can be all over the board depending on size and which minerals, and these seem to have the most commonly seen ones, especially the Apophyllite and Stilbite ones. The "Geode" piece has Okenite which is a cool, less common Zeolite mineral and might be worth that price depending on the size and condition IMO.

Also the label for the first piece is incorrect, not Calcite or Quartz but likely Scolecite and Apophyllite in Basalt.

Yea I bought a crystal from this collection. Some guy died and his kid donated the entire collection. The one I got was labeled quarts but it was apopholite

I’ve never seen okalite, they felt like mothballs when you touch it. Or cotton balls or something .
