PENTAGONITE on HEULANDITE

Wagholi Quarry complex, 20 km NE of Poona, Haharashtra State, India

A 7mm ball of bladed blue crystals with really odd, rough-looking terminations, dappled with 1mm clear colorless calcite rhombs, on a druse of glistening white heulandite xls to a couple of mm. A cute miniature, and absolutely gorgeous under the scope, the terminations are quite distinctive. The base of the matrix is sawn, (doesn't detract at all from the appearance) and the only imperfections are microscopic.

A) 30x30x20mm, $65
