Item Description
Indian Zeolites may still be fairly common on the market, but you cannot deny the fact that they are colorful, attractive, highly displayable and several of them are the finest examples of their respective species extant! Now it must be noted that Apophyllite is not a Zeolite species, but is often associated with the many Zeolites from India. This piece features excellent, sharp, blocky, gemmy, emerald green, color zones prisms of Apophyllite up to 2.5 cm which are associated with very minor Stilbite and white Heulandite on a small amount of matrix. Virtually damage free and fine quality for the material. This is an older specimen and came out of the ground around 1990.
