Description

Beautiful, unusual combination specimen from Aurangabad, India. Pretty powder-blue, intergrown, parallel-growth, chalcedony stalactites form this sculptural, coral-like cluster and are beautifully accented with snow-white puffballs of large and tiny okenite, that look like sea anemones. On this chalcedony we can see thomsonite and mordenite crystals. This is certainly one of the more striking and unusual combination Indian zeolite specimens. This specimens was found for Sami Makki when he's found new amazing white nathrolite.
