A group of tall, tapering calcite crystals from Nashik, each completely coated in a sugary, cream-colored layer of chalcedony. The coated crystals rise like a cluster of towers, and the fine, frosted surface preserves their pointed outlines.

Coated calcite records a sequence of growth in the basalt cavity: calcite crystallized first, then silica-rich fluids deposited chalcedony over it. Formations like this are uncommon and make interesting specimens for collectors of Indian minerals.

A sculptural large-cabinet piece of chalcedony-coated calcite.
