Thin Zeolite with Apophyllite Crystal Specimen - One of a Kind, 5 x 4 In

Zoom in on the close up photos and you can pick out individual apophyllite crystals across the zeolite.

It is thin and light, so it slides into a riker box, a shadow box or a shelf spot where a bulky cluster would never fit. Lay it flat or prop it up so the crystal side faces the room. The glassy apophyllite gives off small flashes as you walk by, and the zeolite gives the surface its texture. It is a good fit for a newer collector who wants a real apophyllite and zeolite specimen without committing to a large one, and it works as a gift for anyone who enjoys geology or picks up stones on hikes.

About Apophyllite and Zeolite

Zeolites are a group of more than 40 hydrated aluminum silicate minerals, including natrolite, stilbite, heulandite and chabazite, and they most often grow in open cavities in basalt. Apophyllite, a phyllosilicate rather than a zeolite, forms in the same cavities and rates 4.5 to 5 on the Mohs scale.

Stone Meaning: Apophyllite is traditionally associated with clarity and spiritual growth.
