Natural Apophyllite Heulandite with Stilbite on Basalt Matrix – 500 g

This natural Apophyllite, Heulandite and Stilbite specimen on Basalt Matrix features a richly textured combination of translucent peach, pale pink and orange zeolite-group crystals distributed across a contrasting cream-white mineral matrix with dark basalt along the edges. The specimen displays a variety of natural crystal habits, including blocky and tabular crystals along with radiating and fibrous mineral growth. The combination of warm peach tones, white crystal formations and dark matrix creates a distinctive natural mineral display specimen.

Geological Note

Apophyllite, Heulandite and Stilbite commonly occur together in cavities and fractures of volcanic rocks. Apophyllite is a hydrated potassium-calcium fluorosilicate mineral that often develops well-formed transparent to translucent crystals. Heulandite and Stilbite are zeolite-group minerals that commonly form through the alteration of volcanic rocks by mineral-rich hydrothermal fluids, producing attractive crystal-filled cavities within basalt.

Please Note: Natural mineral specimens may naturally contain variations in color, crystal formation, transparency, texture, inclusions, fractures, cavities, chips, luster, and matrix. Each specimen is naturally formed and may differ slightly from the photographed piece.
