Apophyllite commonly forms clear, white, pale green, or other light-colored crystals within cavities and fractures of volcanic rocks. Stilbite is a zeolite-group mineral that frequently occurs alongside Apophyllite as white to cream radiating, fibrous, or elongated aggregates. These minerals develop from mineral-rich hydrothermal fluids circulating through cavities in volcanic rocks over geological time.
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.
