$185
A
cabinet specimen hosting an orange (and fairly deeply colored, for
India) calcite crystal that shares its heulandite coated matrix with
stilbite, and apophyllite
There is a bit of cleaving to
the calcite crystal, so the price is somewhat lower.
As
far as India is concerned, I can only recall seeing calcites of this
habit and color from Wagholi (the cavansite locality) though those are
rarely larger than 1 cm.
