White Apophyllite Tabular Crystal Group on Quartz Matrix Specimen — Pune, India | 80 g | 7 × 4 × 4 cm

White Apophyllite Cluster on Quartz Matrix — Natural Indian Mineral Specimen

This attractive natural mineral specimen features a cluster of white to colorless Apophyllite crystals growing on a Quartz-rich matrix. The Apophyllite crystals show naturally developed geometric faces, translucent to semi-transparent areas, and a characteristic vitreous luster. The combination of pale Apophyllite and crystalline Quartz creates a clean, classic Indian zeolite-specimen appearance.

Apophyllite-on-Quartz is a well-documented mineral association from India. Comparable collector specimens from Jalgaon, Maharashtra are described as nearly colorless Apophyllite crystals occurring on white or colorless Quartz/Chalcedony, while other Indian specimens are recorded as Apophyllite growing directly on crystallized Quartz.

The specimen measures approximately 7 × 4 × 4 cm and weighs approximately 80 grams, making it a compact collector-size piece suitable for a mineral cabinet, display case, or Indian mineral collection. The natural crystal arrangement includes variations in transparency, luster, crystal size, contact areas, inclusions, surface texture, and minor imperfections, all of which are part of its geological character.
