A small green apophyllite cube surrounded by crisscrossing sprays of glassy white scolecite needles, from Nashik. The scolecite forms clusters of sharp, needle-like points that radiate and cross into an open, sculptural arrangement.

India's Deccan basalts are the world's principal source of fine scolecite, with other occurrences in Iceland. Pairing it with green apophyllite adds color and a second crystal habit.

A light, open large-cabinet piece.
