About this specimen

Pink Apophyllite & Stilbite Crystal Cluster on Matrix — Natural Indian Mineral Specimen

This attractive natural mineral specimen features Apophyllite crystals associated with Stilbite on a natural matrix, a classic mineral combination from the zeolite-rich basalt cavities of Maharashtra, India. Apophyllite is highly valued by collectors for its well-defined crystal forms, vitreous to pearly luster, and transparent to translucent appearance, while Stilbite commonly develops as attractive bladed, sheaf-like, radiating, or bow-tie crystal aggregates.

The combination of Apophyllite and Stilbite creates an appealing natural contrast of crystal shapes, textures, and luster. Comparable Indian specimens are documented from the Pune region, including specimens with Apophyllite clusters growing together with contrasting Stilbite on matrix.

Measuring approximately 9 × 5 × 4 cm and weighing 100 grams, this is a desirable small-cabinet collector specimen suitable for a mineral cabinet, Indian zeolite collection, geological display, or natural-history collection.

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