Apophyllite on Stilbite

Jalgaon, India - 6.5x7x4 cm

 

 

A bright pointed green Apophyllite is perfectly centered on a plate of clear stilbite. The Apo measures 3.3 cm and is free of any damage. The natural, vertical position highlights the very fine chromatic contrast of the isolated crystal with the matrix and its own transparency and clearness. Really a fine miniature. I acquired it through an e-bay auction in 2009.
