A free-standing specimen of twinned, sharply terminated powellite crystals with heulandite and stilbite from Nashik. The powellite shows good crystal geometry and natural luster, and the zeolite companions give the piece a fuller, more decorative composition.
Powellite is a calcium molybdate and one of the rarer minerals found in the Deccan basalts. It is known for strong fluorescence under ultraviolet light, which makes it a favorite with collectors of fluorescent minerals as well as Indian species collectors. Twinned crystals of this quality are uncommon.
The specimen stands on its own and displays well under both normal and UV light.
