Item Description

This specimen is part of the 2021 Dallas Mineral Collecting Symposium benefit auction, with proceeds benefiting Mineralogical Record, Rocks & Minerals, Tucson Gem and Mineral Society, and mindat.org. Thanks to all of our participants!

Billing for this auction will occur on Monday, August 23, for payment using PayPal or a credit card. Shipping will be billed at cost.

A classic example of the pseudocubic green apophyllites from OLD finds here at the Deccan plateau in India, with really incredible color! This is an old piece, not of a contemporary style. The sharp apophyllite crystal measures about 1 cubic inch, an inch on each side, and is undamaged and protected inside this lovely pocket of minerals in a hollow gas bubble within the basalt, where it formed. The inside is coated by 2 generations of contrasting white and slightly peach-colored stilbite crystals for a very beautiful and balanced aesthetic. From the Brent Lockhart collection, donated to the Symposium auction.
