A vividly colored piece from Nashik in which a dense spray of white scolecite blades bursts across bright orange-red heulandite. The saturated heulandite and the stark white needles make one of the strongest color contrasts in Indian zeolites. Damage is virtually absent.

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.
