Scolecite with Fluorapophylite – Nashik Quarry, Maharashtra India | 150g

Scolecite with Fluorapophylite – Nashik Quarry, Maharashtra, India | 150g

An absolutely captivating 150g combination specimen from the legendary Nashik Quarry in Maharashtra, India — a location that has gifted the mineral world some of its finest zeolite treasures. This piece will not last.

A symphony of crystal forms

What makes this specimen truly special is the remarkable synchronisation of two distinct mineral generations in a single piece:

• Scolecite — incredibly fine, silky white crystal needles radiate in delicate sprays across the specimen, their fibrous elegance catching light with an almost ethereal quality
• Fluorapophylite — larger, glassy pale green crystals crown the top of the specimen, their sharp, lustrous terminations providing a striking visual counterpoint to the fine Scolecite below

Nashik — world-class zeolite country

The Deccan Trap basalts of Maharashtra have long been celebrated as one of the world's premier sources of zeolite minerals. The Nashik region in particular produces combination specimens of extraordinary quality — where multiple minerals form together in cavities, creating natural compositions of rare beauty.
