A tall, tower-like column of conjoined, finely terminated calcite crystals encrusted with pink-peach stilbite, rising from a blue-gray chalcedony base, from Nashik. The piece is more impressive in hand than in photographs.
Tall, tower-shaped calcite groups are uncommon, and the stilbite crust and cool chalcedony base add color and texture. Calcite, stilbite and chalcedony frequently share the same cavities in the Deccan basalts.
A top collector large-cabinet specimen.
