Small, slim and green, this apophyllite comes with its matrix still attached.
Narrow and light, this specimen shows green apophyllite crystals growing from the rock they formed on, with stilbite growing alongside them. Having the matrix attached tells the story of where the crystals came from, which a loose point cannot. The slim shape slips into a riker box, a small display stand or the front row of a cabinet. It suits a collector adding green apophyllite to a basalt minerals shelf, or a gift for someone who has started picking up specimens at gem shows.
About Apophyllite and Stilbite
Apophyllite is a sheet silicate known for glassy, pyramid tipped crystals, and it often grows alongside stilbite, a true zeolite that forms sheaf or bow tie shaped bundles of thin crystals. Both develop in gas pockets inside basalt. The Deccan Traps of India are famous for this pairing, with pale green apophyllite and salmon pink stilbite found together near Mumbai and Pune.
Stone Meaning: Apophyllite is traditionally associated with clarity and spiritual growth.
