A geode from Nashik lined with peach stilbite, holding a crisscrossing web of fine white scolecite needles and a large cream crystal at one side. Damage is virtually absent, and the dark basalt rim frames the warm interior.

Scolecite and stilbite are two of the most typical zeolites of the Deccan Traps. The fine white needles and the sheaf-like stilbite make a pleasing contrast of textures.

A solid cabinet geode.
