A long, flat section of pale peach heulandite from Nashik covered with a dense mat of fine white scolecite needles, presented on a clear stand. The needles crisscross over the whole surface like a layer of frost, with virtually no damage.

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. Dense needle mats like this are delicate and attractive.

A light large-cabinet example of scolecite on heulandite.
