Acicular Mesolite with Apophyllite
Collection
Robert Lavinsky
Description
Classic combo from the early days of Indian exports, where a fan-like, diverging spray, of white, partially gemmy Scolecite crystals to 5 cm in length associated with accenting Apophyllite crystals, to 1.5 cm in length, all spraying up from a sliver of basaltic matrix. Groups like this first made an appearance in the U.S, around 1979-81 and the style and character of that find remains distinct and unique to this day, and highly sought after.
