Powellilte is the rarest and most desirable mineral from the famed basalts of the Deccan Traps of India. This EXCELLENT and very SHOWY specimen features a 2.8 cm tall, sharp pyramid of highly lustrous and striated, gemmy, amber powellite aesthetically set in bladed stilbite. This fine piece is from the Indian discovery locality of the late 1970s - Pandulena Hill, Nasik and dates from that time period. There were not very many good specimens from the early finds. This is a beautiful, highly representative specimen of the species and locality and is not diminished by the partial contacting on the left side and back of the powellite, as you can see. Ex.
