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