A large plate from Nashik covered in a sparkling, tan-pink crust of small heulandite crystals, topped by two rounded, cream-colored stilbite aggregates that rise like pale mushrooms above the surface. The simple composition and strong contrast make the piece easy to read from across a room.
Stilbite and heulandite are among the most characteristic zeolites of the Deccan Traps and often grow together. Here the stilbite has formed compact, rounded sheaves, while the heulandite carpets the plate with tiny, glittering crystals.
At nearly 23 cm and more than 3 kg, it is a substantial display piece for a zeolite collection.
