Green Apophyllite Crystal Cluster on White Stilbite Matrix | Natural Mineral

This natural mineral specimen features a beautiful cluster of green Apophyllite crystals resting on a contrasting white Stilbite matrix. The combination of fresh green Apophyllite and pearly white Stilbite is a classic association from the zeolite-bearing basalt cavities of Maharashtra, India. Comparable specimens from Pune and other Maharashtra localities are documented with green Apophyllite crystals growing directly over white to creamy Stilbite.

The Apophyllite crystals display naturally developed faces and terminations with a characteristic glassy to vitreous luster. The white Stilbite forms a textured mineral foundation beneath and around the Apophyllite cluster, creating strong color contrast and an attractive three-dimensional arrangement. Natural variations in crystal size, transparency, luster, surface texture, contact areas, inclusions, and minor imperfections are expected in a genuine mineral specimen.

Measuring approximately 7 × 6 × 2 cm and weighing approximately 70 grams, this is a compact collector specimen that is easy to display in a mineral cabinet, collection shelf, or specimen case.
