Features:
Primary Mineral: Scolecite Secondary Mineral: Heulandite Size: 5 x 2.5 inches (12.7 x 6.3 cm) Size Class: Cabinet Weight: 485 g (17.1 oz) Locality: Nashik, Maharashtra, India
A dark basalt geode from Nashik opening to a cavity of cream-peach heulandite crystals, with long, glassy white scolecite blades rising from the floor of the pocket. Damage is virtually absent, and the black shell frames the pale interior with strong contrast.
Scolecite takes its name from the Greek word for worm, after the way its crystals curl when heated. In the Deccan basalts it grows as fine radiating needles, and those sheltered inside heulandite-lined cavities are the ones that survive intact.
A well-proportioned cabinet geode.
