A geode section from Jalgaon lined with warm peach-pink heulandite and stilbite, crossed by a fine mesh of glossy, colorless scolecite needles. The needles interweave across the whole cavity rather than radiating from one point, giving the piece a delicate, lacy texture. It is presented on a display stand.

Mesh formations like this are less common than standard scolecite sprays. The three-zeolite association of scolecite, stilbite and heulandite is classic Deccan Traps material, and the pink lining makes the white needles stand out clearly.

Light at 128 g, this scolecite mesh on heulandite suits a smaller display space.
