Item Description

Indian Zeolites and associated species may still be fairly common on the market, but you cannot deny the fact that they are colorful, attractive, highly displayable and several of them are the finest examples of their respective species extant! This piece features excellent, olive-green color spherical aggregates of Gyrolite up to 9 mm across which are sitting atop white sugary Quartz on basalt matrix. There are also a few small sprays of Mesolite/Scolecite (?) on the piece as well. Nearly damage free and good quality for the material. This is an older specimen and came out of the ground around 1990.
