Golden Calcite on Quartz Druzy in Basalt Geode

Maharashtra, India
$95AED 450
One specimen — when it's gone, it's gone.

This specimen is a textbook example of sequential mineralization in a Deccan Traps basalt vesicle. The host rock — dense, dark tholeiitic basalt — was sawn open and its base ground flat so it stands upright, revealing an interior lined first with a grey-white druzy quartz crust speckled with celadonite inclusions, giving the lining its characteristic salt-and-pepper texture. Projecting from this crust is a translucent honey-yellow calcite rhombohedron — calcite's classic scalenohedral or rhombohedral habit — whose warm golden colour derives from trace iron within its crystal lattice. A secondary white mass, likely stilbite or apophyllite, flanks the calcite on the upper ledge. The Shaikh family's Maharashtra sources yield these multi-phase geode sections from basalt flows in the Nashik and Aurangabad districts, where slow secondary fluid circulation allowed each mineral phase to grow undisturbed.
