A round, snow-white mesolite cotton ball on a pale pinkish-tan mordenite matrix from Nashik: a hemispherical porcupine-quill spray of glassy needles radiating outward, displayed on a stand. The bright white ball contrasts with the warmer matrix beside it.

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 soft, dramatic large-cabinet specimen.
