Item Description

A very showy, 3-dimensional, complete all-around, mounded specimen with covered lustrous, glassy apophyllite crystals to 7 mm in size. This is not fluorapophyllite, but rather the more rare variety, hydroxy-apophyllite. Nearly pristine, with only a trivial bit of periphery wear on the sides. Ex Charlie Key dealer stock.
