Bright yellow-orange thomsonite balls clustered over a bed of amber-tan stilbite blades, from Nashik. The rounded, velvety balls cover most of the specimen and contrast with the glassy, bladed stilbite showing between them. The specimen is in excellent condition.

Thomsonite is one of the less common zeolites of the Deccan basalts, and it is usually white or cream, so this saturated yellow-orange color is unusual. Its balls of radiating fibers pair well with the sheaf-like stilbite.

A vivid small-cabinet example of an uncommon Indian zeolite.

As the world's largest exporter of Indian zeolites, Superb Minerals brings the world one-of-a-kind collector specimens that have unrivaled quality. Each piece is just as it was the day it was discovered in the Indian earth, unaltered, from the mines of Maharashtra to your hands. This is why museums around the world display our specimens, including the Smithsonian and the Harvard Mineralogical and Geological Museum.
