This is Okenite, from Bombay, India. Aprox. 4cm

Okenite (CaSi2O. 5· 2H2O) is a silicate mineral that is usually associated with zeolites. It most commonly is found as small white "cotton ball" formations within basalt geodes. These formations are clusters of straight, radiating, fibrous crystals that are both bendable and fragile.
