A white mesolite cotton ball perched on a pale, sugary mordenite matrix from Nashik, with glassy needles radiating in a full hemispherical porcupine-quill spray. The piece is displayed on a stand.

Mesolite takes its name from the Greek mesos, middle, because its chemistry falls between natrolite and scolecite. It is very brittle, so the delicate needles should be handled with care.

A light, airy large-cabinet specimen.
