An open, intergrown jackstraw cluster of scolecite from the 2021 Nashik finds. Glassy, clear to translucent prisms cross and extend in every direction, and the crystal faces show a light iridescence as the piece is turned.
Most Indian scolecite forms tight radiating sprays. Jackstraw intergrowths like this one, where the prisms interlock at random angles, are less common and give the specimen an airy, three-dimensional character from every side.
Nashik district is one of the principal zeolite-producing areas of the Deccan Traps, and this is a lively, well-crystallized example of its scolecite.
