Here’s a shaky video of how it feels to be the first one to look inside a cavity. Seen here is a medium size cavity of blocky green apophyllite crystals on a matrix of orange heulandite found inside a water well.
A lot of people imagine the best crystals to be sitting inside the cavity with their terminations pointed upwards, but the majority of cavities that we come across have the good stuff hanging from the top inside these cavities. You can also hear the runner who first found this cavity yodeling away in happiness of his find.
Size of the cavity, approximately 3 mtrs wide
by 1 mtr tall with a depth of about 5mtrs

Zeolite Cavities in the Basaltic flows in the Decc

Zeolite Cavities in the Basaltic flows in the Deccan Plateau can range from a couple of inches to humongous ones that can stretch to more than 50 mtrs, like the one that we worked on in 2007 in a water well in Aurangabad District in Maharashtra. This find was covered in the all the major international mineral magazines such as The Mineralogical Record, USA and Mineralien Welt (Mineral World) Germany.
Seen here is @samimakki_ locking his hands around a gigantic piece of Green Apophyllite connected on both sides of the cavity.

This specimen was mined by us from a cavity in a water well not too far away from the original Disco Ball location. After the amazing discovery of the original Disco Ball Apophyllite back in 2001, every farmer in the locality wanted to dig a well hoping to find similar material. However only a few of the wells produced similar material but not quite the same. Namely Well No 2 in 2004, Well No 3 in 2012 and the one pictured above, Well No 4 in 2016.

Freshly cleaned specimen of Green Apophyllite on H

Freshly cleaned specimen of Green Apophyllite on Heulandite matrix with petal Stilbites. These were mined by us around Pune right after the Tucson Show, just when the world started going into lockdown. We wish all our friends the best of health and courage during these tough times ! Stay Home, Stay Safe !

Looking back at Tucson 2020, we got this specimen of himalayan quartz towards the end of the show. It has a nice arrangement of 3 crystals fanning out on a large chloride matrix.
Available at our next US Show 2020-2021
