A geode from Nashik lined with glittering peach-pink heulandite crystals, holding several bright white sprays of scolecite needles. Damage is virtually absent, and the warm lining sets off the white sprays clearly.

Indian zeolites are produced in quantity, which keeps them accessible, yet the best Deccan Traps material includes some of the finest crystallized examples of these species found anywhere. This is a well-presented example of the classic scolecite and heulandite pairing.

A display-ready cabinet specimen.
