A museum-sized specimen from Nashik in which stacked calcite crystals, coated in a soft peach-pink layer of chalcedony, rise in stepped towers from a pale gray chalcedony base. The coating preserves the blocky outlines of the calcite beneath a smooth, silky surface.

Coated calcite records two stages of growth in the basalt cavity: calcite first, then a later deposit of silica. Pieces this large, over 25 cm across, with this kind of sculptural height, are uncommon.

A large, distinctive specimen of chalcedony-coated calcite for collectors of Indian minerals.
