Natural Apophyllite Crystal Cluster 8 × 5 × 3 cm | 140 g

Apophyllite Crystal Specimen — Natural Indian Mineral

This natural Apophyllite specimen is a collector-size mineral piece displaying naturally developed Apophyllite crystals with the characteristic geometric crystal form and vitreous to pearly luster for which the mineral is highly valued. Indian Apophyllite specimens are particularly well known from the Deccan Trap region of Maharashtra, where Apophyllite-group minerals formed within cavities and mineral-rich pockets of basalt alongside zeolites such as Stilbite and Heulandite.

Maharashtra contains numerous documented Apophyllite-group localities, including several within Pune District, as well as localities across Nashik, Jalgaon and other districts. Mineralogical databases specifically record Fluorapophyllite-(K) from multiple Maharashtra localities.

Measuring approximately 8 × 5 × 3 cm and weighing approximately 140 grams, this specimen is a substantial compact piece suitable for a mineral cabinet, Indian mineral collection, geological display, or collector shelf.

Natural variations in crystal size, transparency, luster, surface texture, inclusions, contact areas, minor fractures, and irregular growth are normal characteristics of a genuine natural mineral specimen.
