Item Description

There has been some fairly new finds of the relatively rare Zeolite species Thomsonite in India. Most people are probably familiar with the rather smooth spheres that are found on basalt. This is a great display specimen from the same locality featuring a decent sphere of Thomsonite measuring 2.3 cm sitting green and brown contrasting basalt. A beautiful association piece of one of the rarer Zeolite species out there. Approximate retail value is $300-$400.
