This classic combo piece is comprised of light to olive green spherules of translucent gyrolite to about an inch across, gemmy white apophyllite to 2 cm, pure white okenite masses on mm size stilbite, which in turn, sits on basalt. A really neat piece from the Deccan Traps! The gyrolite is of the highest quality and is unique in color. This is older material, from the quarries nearer to Bombay such as perhaps Pandulena, if the label is to be believed, and not from more recent mining at Jalgaon in Maharashtra State 10 x 7 x 2.8 cm
