Fluorapophyllite-(K) Apophyllite Crystal Pune District Maharashtra India | 9×6×4 cm | 110g

This natural Fluorapophyllite-(K) specimen, commonly referred to in the mineral trade as Apophyllite, originates from the Pune District of Maharashtra, India, within the Deccan Trap volcanic province. Mindat documents Fluorapophyllite-(K) from multiple localities across Pune District, including Pashan, Junnar, Hadapsar and Lonavala.

Apophyllite-group minerals are highly valued by collectors for their well-developed geometric crystal forms, vitreous to pearly luster, and transparent to translucent appearance. Pune District is a historically important source of Indian Apophyllite specimens, with documented examples from Pashan showing lustrous green Fluorapophyllite-(K), as well as specimens associated with Stilbite and Quartz.

This specimen measures approximately 9 × 6 × 4 cm and weighs approximately 110 grams, making it a substantial collector-size mineral specimen suitable for a mineral cabinet, Indian mineral collection, geological display, or natural-history collection.

Natural crystal variations, inclusions, contact areas, minor fractures, surface irregularities, and differences in luster or transparency are normal characteristics of a natural mineral specimen and contribute to its individual appearance.
