Okenite, Gyrolite, Laumontite

Bombay Quarry, Mumbai Dist., Maharashtra

Size: 15.4x8.8x9.7 cm

This specimen shows features a number of snow-white, fibrous, spherical "puffs" of okenite planted between a crystal-lined grey basalt matrix. The top half of the specimen is covered in the "fuzzy" acicular balls and the bottom shows what I believe to be botryoidal gyrolite balls with loose laumontite crystals scattered about. Often miscategorized as a zeolite, it's actually a silicate, though the mineral usually does occur with zeolites. India produces the biggest and most fine Okenite in the world, no question.  A very distinctive mineral!
