Globular aggregates formed by Thomsonite-Ca crystals of a very intense and uniform orange color, something remarkable for the locality and for the species, with a tone much more vivid than usual in this place. They are accompanied by cream-colored Mesolite crystals and small, very fine acicular crystals of Scolecite, which follow the globular seams of the Thomsonite-Ca, all of it on the matrix of the typical basaltic rock omnipresent in the Deccan Traps of India.
