Clusters of rounded, golden-orange thomsonite balls set among glassy amber stilbite blades, from Nashik, presented on a clear stand. The balls cover much of the specimen and give it a warm, rich color. Condition is excellent.

Thomsonite is one of the less common zeolites of the Deccan basalts and is usually white or cream, so this golden-orange tone is distinctive. Its rounded aggregates of radiating fibers contrast with the sheaf-like stilbite.
