Description
- Zeolite
- Specimen measures 4.05″ wide
These Zeolites come from an area of Maharashtra, India called the Deccan Traps, a massive area of ancient lava that flows over 6,500 feet thick over 200,000 square miles. Zeolite minerals in India are found in amygdaloidal vesicles (called cavities or pockets) in the Deccan lava flows. Zeolites are secondary minerals made up of hydrated aluminum silicate molecules that readily join with cations such as calcium, sodium, or potassium.
