Nasik quarry, Nasik District, Maharashtra, India

Your eyes are attracted by the softness and chromatic harmony of this combination of three minerals: white Stilbite and Scolecite with crystalline green Fluorapophyllite. All of this on a base that intensifies it even more, red due to the presence of iron oxides.

Nasik quarry, Nasik District, Maharashtra, India

Stalactitic growth done by crystals of nearly clearless Fluorapophyllite and some crystals of Stilbite lightly colored. Nucleus cementing the structure seems to be Quartz, which appear in some places as at the top of the sample where it forms little white needles.

Nasik quarry, Nasik District, Maharashtra, India

Undoubtedly the most prominent aspect of the piece is its color. An intense and unusual orange color, affecting both the Fluorapophyllite and the Stilbite and contrasting with the matrix, dark in some places, white or pink in other. A very attractive ensemble.

Fluorapophyllite with Stilbite from Nasik, Maharashtra

I find it hard to imagine how something like this formed. The center, possibly of a Quartz stalactite, has been completely covered by Fluorapophyllite crystals of various sizes. A small brown Stilbite adds to the specimen.
