Item Description
Mickey Mouse in Thomsonite! The aesthetically intergrown spherical balls of radiating acicular creamy crystals with the surface texture of fine-grained sandpaper look just like the head and different sized ears of the famous cartoon character! Thomsonite is rare relative to other Zeolite Group species from Maharashtra and this is a fine example. These came from an important 2005 find from the Aurangabad District during well digging and the balls reached up to 7.0 cm. A very showy and excellent 360-degree specimen from the find.
