Fluorapophyllite-(K) with Stilbite

Item Description

It's fair to say that Zeolites and associated minerals from India are fairly common on the market these days, but I will say that they should be appreciated for what they are. A good percentage of these pieces are simply some of the finest crystallized examples of their respective particular species extant. This piece features a group sharp, lustrous, blocky crystals of soft green Apophyllite with a couple associated white blades of Stilbite on minor matrix. The main Apophyllite crystal is doubly-terminated and measures 3.7 cm on edge. Minor roughness can be seen, but it's a beautiful and eye-catching piece, and will probably end up being a great bargain for somebody. One day (eventually) India will not produce any more of these Zeolites, and they will more receive great recognition for being the amazing display specimens that they are.
