Item Description
An impressive and uncommon large combination from this less well-known Jalgaon locale. Cream-colored thomsonite botryoids richly and attractively cover the vesicular basalt matrix. Unusually, some of the botryoids are covered with stiff needles of scolecite. The broken botryoids reveal the radial growth of the thomsonite needles. The base and sides have been sawed to enhance the display quality. Showy and excellent combination material valued at $600.
