Apophyllite grows some of the cleanest looking crystals in the mineral world, with square sides and neat pointed tips.
This small cluster packs those crystals into a palm sized specimen that sits easily in a display case, a shadow box or on a windowsill where light can pass through the faces. It suits a mineral collector filling out a zeolite and basalt pocket section, or someone just starting a collection who wants a piece with crisp crystal form rather than a tumbled stone. Turn it under a lamp and the glassy faces catch the light one by one.
About Apophyllite
Apophyllite is a group of sheet silicate minerals known for glassy, square sided prismatic and pyramid tipped crystals. It is not a zeolite, though it forms in the same places: as a secondary mineral in gas pockets inside basalt and other volcanic rock. Jalgaon, India is a major source, and other well known localities include the Harz Mountains of Germany and Mont Saint-Hilaire in Canada.
Stone Meaning: Apophyllite is traditionally associated with clarity and spiritual growth.
