Description: Mass: 4700 g MIM number:2022 Basalt block covered on its upper side with three very well formed balls of white needles. This piece is one of the most aesthetic of this fortuitous discovery resulting from the digging of a well, because of the sharp contrast between white scolecite and brown basalt.
