A rounded, dark gray basalt geode from Nashik opening to a sparkling white quartz lining and a large, hemispherical porcupine-quill spray of glassy scolecite needles. The thick dark shell gives the white interior striking contrast.

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

A solid small-cabinet geode.
