Display cabinet shelves have limited room, and this green apophyllite matrix piece is sized to fit one.
The green apophyllite crystals grow on their host rock along with zeolite, so you see the crystals in context rather than as a loose point. It is under four inches across and about three inches tall, a comfortable size for a desk, a nightstand or a crowded mineral shelf. Photos show it in hand by a window, on a glass surface and from the side next to a cactus. Please note that a stand is not included. If you are building a collection of minerals from basalt cavities, this is a tidy example, and it suits a small gift for someone just starting one. The specimen pictured is the one you receive.
It measures about 3.75 by 2.5 by 3 inches tall and weighs about 0.375 kilograms.
About Green Apophyllite and Zeolites
Apophyllite gets its name from the Greek for "it flakes off", for the way it flakes when heated. It forms glassy prismatic or tabular crystals at about 4.5 to 5 on the Mohs scale and usually grows with zeolites, a family of hydrated aluminum silicates that fill open cavities in basalt. Jalgaon, India is a major source.
Stone Meaning: Apophyllite is traditionally associated with spiritual growth and awareness.
