Apophyllite Cavansite Flouroapophyllite Heulandite Okenite Prehnite Scolecite Stilbite
The Deccan basalt flows that cover 200,000 square miles of west central India are a prime source of fabulous scolecite specimens. Large gas bubbles trapped in the solidified lava rock provide ideal sites for the formation of these fabulous specimens.
Scolecite crystallizes into needle-like (or acicular) crystals that can vary in size from almost hairlike to over 1 cm thick. These are easily damaged upon removal and while being handled so perfect specimens are virtually impossible to attain without some minor crystal damage making perfect and near perfect specimens very valuable.
