4.4" Colorless Apophyllite on Calcite - India

This is a nice 4.4" wide mineral association, containing colorless apophyllite crystals that formed from a calcite encrusted matrix. This was collected from Nashik in Maharashtra, India.

It comes with an acrylic display stand.

Apophyllite while not a zeolite itself is almost always found associated with zeolites in the same pockets. It has two crystal habits, a rectangular prism capped by a steep four sided pyramid or a pseudo-cubic structure. While not a well known mineral to the general public it is popular among mineral collectors due to it's pastel colors and beautiful crystal formations.
