A rich, porcupine-quill sphere of glassy white scolecite needles from Pune, rising from a fan of pale mint-green apophyllite crystals. The scolecite ball is dense and evenly rounded, and the needles radiate in every direction from its core, while the frosted green apophyllite below forms a contrasting, blade-like base.

White scolecite on green apophyllite is one of the defining combinations of the Pune zeolite district in the Deccan Traps. Large, complete scolecite balls with this kind of symmetry were more common in older finds and are now harder to obtain.

At nearly 1 kg and 15 cm tall, it is a substantial large-cabinet display piece for collectors of Indian scolecite and apophyllite.
