Few mineral pairings photograph as well as apophyllite and peach stilbite, and this cluster carries both across a long, low spread of matrix.
The apophyllite gives you the glassy, blocky crystals that catch window light, while the stilbite adds soft peach sheaves between them, so the piece has both sparkle and warmth. Its long, low shape fills a console, a mantel or a lit cabinet shelf without towering over the room. A specimen this size works as the main piece in a collection, or as the one natural object in a modern living room or office lobby. The photos cover several angles, including one in hand, so you can judge the crystal coverage before you commit.
About Apophyllite and Stilbite
Apophyllite is a sheet silicate that forms glassy prismatic crystals, and its name comes from the Greek for it flakes off, after the way it flakes when heated. Stilbite is a zeolite, a hydrated aluminum silicate, and often grows in bow tie or sheaf shaped aggregates in salmon and peach tones. The two commonly grow together in cavities in basalt, and the Deccan Traps of India are known for exactly this pairing.
Stone Meaning: Apophyllite and stilbite are traditionally associated with clarity and openness.
Additional Details
- You receive the exact zeolite cluster shown.
- About 12" long x 6" wide x 5" tall.
- Natural apophyllite and stilbite on zeolite matrix.
- Apophyllite is about 4.5 to 5 on the Mohs scale and stilbite about 3.5 to 4; dust with a soft brush and keep it away from harder stones.
- Lift it from the matrix underneath, not by the crystals.
