Stilbite and Apophyllite commonly occur together in cavities and fractures of volcanic rocks. Stilbite often develops as elongated, radiating, fan-shaped, or sheaf-like aggregates, while Apophyllite commonly forms clear to translucent prismatic or tabular crystals. These minerals form from mineral-rich hydrothermal fluids circulating through volcanic rock cavities 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.
