This attractive natural mineral specimen features a cluster of green Apophyllite crystals beautifully set upon a Stilbite matrix. The combination of fresh green Apophyllite and contrasting Stilbite is a classic Indian mineral association and is particularly well known from the zeolite-bearing basalt cavities of Maharashtra. Documented specimens from Maharashtra show Green Apophyllite growing directly on creamy or white Stilbite, creating strong natural contrast and attractive collector specimens.
The Apophyllite crystals display naturally developed crystal faces, attractive luster, and the characteristic geometric habit valued by mineral collectors. The Stilbite matrix provides a textured foundation that enhances the visibility and color of the Apophyllite crystals. Natural variations in crystal size, transparency, luster, surface texture, contact areas, inclusions, and minor imperfections are part of the specimen's geological character.
Measuring approximately 7 × 7 × 3 cm and weighing approximately 100 grams, this is a compact collector-size mineral specimen that is well suited for a mineral cabinet, display case, or Indian zeolite collection.
