Flat specimens show off their crystals all at once, and that is what this zeolite and apophyllite piece does best.
Because it is broad and thin, the whole crystal surface faces you, which makes it easy to display on a small plate stand, in a shadow box or lying flat in a cabinet. The zeolite adds a contrasting texture around the apophyllite crystals. Being light, it is simple to move between rooms or pack away safely. It suits a collector who wants a different profile from a chunky cluster, or someone setting up a mineral cabinet for the first time and looking for a piece that reads well from the front.
About Apophyllite and Zeolite
Apophyllite belongs to the phyllosilicates, and its name comes from the Greek for it flakes off, after the way it flakes when heated. It forms as a secondary mineral in vesicles in basalt, commonly beside stilbite and other zeolites, and Jalgaon, India is a major source.
Stone Meaning: Apophyllite is traditionally associated with clarity and spiritual growth.
