Item Details
Truly impressive mesolite needles in a gorgeous hemispherical porcupine quill spray, formed on a mordenite matrix. Each mesolite specimen from India is a miracle, having survived dynamite blasts and shock from heavy basalt mining machinery, in addition to procurement, cleaning, and shipping.
Mesolite is a very brittle and is easy broken, so care should be exercised when handling specimens.
Mesolite is named after the Greek term "Mesos", which means "middle," and "Lithos," for stone. It is named so because mesolite is intermediary in a series between natrolite and scolecite.
