| ✪ Mesolite Formula: Na2Ca2Si9Al6O30 · 8H2O Habit: The mesolites are formed in a ball-shaped cluster, each crystal being a long elongated needle. All of the needles merge to a single point, creating ball-like sprays. Each needle has a square top. It is usually found in Heulandite Cavities, along with stilbites, and apophyllites. Colour: The mesolite here comes in colors of white, transparent, and orange Fluorescence: None Description: High-quality mesolites are notably abundant in the Sus area of Pune. These mesolites are often found in large, ball-shaped formations within Heulandite cavities. They appear in impressive sizes and massive clusters, with some of the world's largest mesolite clusters discovered here. The specimens are typically unearthed at construction sites and roadcuts, where their striking, spherical sprays become evident.
