A rich porcupine-quill spray of glassy scolecite needles, set artistically on a basalt matrix that is itself covered in frosted, mint-green apophyllite crystals. The white burst of scolecite against a carpet of green apophyllite is one of the classic Deccan Traps looks, and here both species are well represented.
Scolecite and green apophyllite from Pune are signature Indian minerals, but large combination pieces that show both in good condition have become hard to find on today's market. This cabinet specimen is a strong example of the pairing, collected in 2021.
