Collectors who want green apophyllite and stilbite on one piece, instead of buying them separately, will find both here.
Apophyllite brings the glassy green crystals with pointed tips, while stilbite, a zeolite, usually forms bundles of thin, fibrous crystals in white, pink or peach. Seeing both minerals side by side shows how differently they grow, which makes it a good teaching piece as well as decor. At under five inches long it fits easily in a display cabinet or on a bookshelf, and the shelf photo shows how it looks among plants. A stand is not included, so plan on setting it directly on a shelf or adding your own. Think of it for a geology fan's birthday or a housewarming. The specimen in the photos is the one that ships to you.
Size: about 4.625 by 3.25 by 2 inches tall. Weight: about 0.405 kilograms.
About Stilbite and Apophyllite
Stilbite is a zeolite mineral, a hydrous calcium sodium aluminum silicate, usually white but also salmon, pink or orange. It often grows as sheaf or bow tie shaped bundles of thin crystals and is soft, about 3.5 to 4 on the Mohs scale. The Deccan Traps basalts of India are a prolific source, where salmon pink stilbite turns up alongside pale green apophyllite near Mumbai and Pune.
Stone Meaning: Apophyllite is traditionally associated with spiritual growth and awareness.
