Peach Apophyllite Crystal on Matrix - One of a Kind, 5 In

If shelf space is tight but you still want a real mineral specimen, this slim apophyllite on matrix fits where a big cluster will not.

It is long and narrow, so it can lie along the front edge of a bookshelf, stand in a small display case, or sit beside a monitor without crowding the desk. The peach coloring brings a gentle warmth, and the crystal faces pick up light from a window or lamp. It is light enough to pick up and turn in your hand, which is half the pleasure of owning a specimen. Give it to someone just starting a mineral collection, or add it to a cabinet that already holds larger apophyllite and needs a smaller piece in front.

About Apophyllite

Apophyllite is a group of phyllosilicate minerals that forms prismatic or tabular crystals with a glassy to pearly luster. It grows as a secondary mineral in cavities in basalt and other volcanic rocks, often alongside zeolites such as stilbite, and Jalgaon, India is a major source. The name comes from the Greek for it flakes off, for how it behaves when heated.

Stone Meaning: Apophyllite is traditionally associated with clarity and reflection.
