Description

Balls of light-green Gyrolite crystals on a matrix of fine sparkly Quartz. Very attractive and unusual combination. Mines in Malad, Mumbai which produced top quality okenite, prehnite, gyrolite etc. have been closed for over 7 years due to rapid metropolitan expansion. However, some specimens (like this great Gyrolite) are found by chance while digging new big building foundations. Of course, it is much better in person.
