A large-cabinet scolecite specimen from Aurangabad in which sprays of sharp, prismatic needles cross one another to form a cross-shaped arrangement. The result is a balanced, sculptural piece nearly 18 cm across.

Scolecite typically grows as needle-like points that radiate outward from a center or crisscross into open structures, as here. India's Deccan Traps basalts are the world's principal source of fine scolecite, with other well-known occurrences in Iceland.

The distinctive cross formation makes this one easy to pick out on a shelf of more conventional sprays.
