Item Description

Good mesolite specimens are relatively rare compared to the other zeolite species coming from the Deccan Traps today. This sculptural vug in basalt hosts a striking porcupine-quill-like ball of mesolite needles on a couple of generations of drusy quartz, and as a bonus a single apophylllite crystal. Showy, excellent and uncommon CABINET combination material from Jalgaon. 3.5 pounds or 1.6 kilos.
