Apophyllite Tabular Crystal on White Quartz — Maharashtra, India | 130 g | 5 × 5 × 4 cm

White Apophyllite Cluster on White Quartz — Natural Indian Mineral Specimen

This natural mineral specimen features a beautiful white to colorless Apophyllite crystal cluster associated with white Quartz, creating a soft monochromatic appearance with attractive natural crystal texture and luster. Apophyllite is highly valued by mineral collectors for its well-developed crystal forms, vitreous luster, and transparent to translucent crystals. Indian Apophyllite specimens are particularly well known from the basalt-hosted mineral pockets of Maharashtra.

The Quartz association provides a contrasting crystalline foundation beneath and around the Apophyllite, adding depth and sparkle to the specimen. Documented Indian specimens specifically feature Apophyllite growing over bright white microcrystalline Quartz, including material from Jalgaon District, Maharashtra.

Measuring approximately 5 × 5 × 4 cm and weighing 130 grams, this is a compact collector-size mineral specimen suitable for a mineral cabinet, display case, or Indian mineral collection. Natural variations in crystal form, transparency, surface texture, contact areas, minor fractures, inclusions, and irregular growth are part of the specimen's geological character.
