Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Thomsonite
Locality: Aurangabad District, Maharashtra, India (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: 6.1 x 4.3 x 2.7 cm.
This pocket was hit literally a week before the Denver show, during a well dig in rural Maharashtra state; the three Indian dealers that had it mislabeled it as mesolite or pectolite initially. After we confirmed that it was in fact thomsonite we bought most of the find (this is a large portion of the better pieces in the entire pocket). It is from a small dig in the Aurangabad forest (near Nasik) and may be a unique find since nothing like it has been hit before. Keep in mind that thomsonite is one of the RAREST zeolites and has never been found in such quantity and quality before from any locality, especially in India where it is almost non-existent despite the tonnage of other zeolites to come out of the Deccan traps. Thomsonite has been found, to be honest, at several other localities in very nice crystals, it is true. However, the form here, and the overall size of the radial aggregates, is unique. These form primarily as apparent spheres, but broken ones show the radial crystallization inside. This certainly ranks as one of the most important finds in Indian mineral history!!
