Mineral collectors tend to look for combinations, and green apophyllite with stilbite is a classic pairing.
Apophyllite forms glassy, pyramid shaped crystals, here in green, while stilbite tends to grow in fibrous bundles alongside it, so the two textures sit side by side on one cluster. Apophyllite is typically colorless or white, which makes the green a nice feature. At about 5.5 inches and 470 grams it is a comfortable cabinet size, easy to display under a light where the crystal faces can catch it. A mineral lover or a collector filling out a zeolite shelf would enjoy it. This is the exact apophyllite cluster shown.
The specimen is about 5.5 by 3 by 2 inches and weighs about 470 grams. One photo shows it beside a ruler.
About Apophyllite and Stilbite
Apophyllite is a group of phyllosilicate minerals that forms glassy, pyramidal to prismatic crystals, colorless, white or green; its name comes from the Greek for it flakes off, since it flakes when heated. Stilbite is a zeolite that often grows in sheaf or bow tie shaped bundles. The Deccan Traps basalts of India are a classic source, with pale green apophyllite and salmon stilbite found together. Apophyllite is about 4.5 to 5 on the Mohs scale.
Stone Meaning: Apophyllite is traditionally associated with clarity and reflection.
