A tall, narrow basalt geode from Nashik lined with white chalcedony and quartz, holding a long fan of fine white scolecite needles that runs up the length of the cavity. The dark, layered basalt shell frames the bright interior.

Scolecite is the most familiar needle-forming zeolite of the Deccan basalts. The radiating fan habit is one of its most attractive forms, and the geode keeps the delicate needles protected.

A solid small-cabinet geode at 400 g.
