Description

Aesthetically situated in completely hollow basaltic vug, a diverging spray of gemmy, lustrous, Natrolite crystals to 6 cm in length emanate from a druse of sugary white Quartz. Although a few Natrolite crystals do span the vug and are attached to the ceiling, the majority are visibly terminated. Natrolites are uncommon from the Indian basalts, with the bulk of needle zeolites being the related Scolecite.
