A small geode section from Nashik lined with pale tan-pink heulandite, holding a bright spray of white scolecite blades that fan out across the cavity. Damage is virtually absent, and the thin dark rim of basalt frames the light interior.

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. Scolecite in heulandite is a classic pairing.

A neat small-cabinet example at 155 g.
