Apophyllite crystal beds, originating from India, boast exceptional quality with their remarkable crystal forms and clear transparent coloration. As a result, they are highly sought after by collectors. Interestingly, Apophyllites were initially considered a specific mineral, but in 1978, they were reclassified as a distinct class of minerals known as phyllosilicates. This class encompasses minerals and crystals with similar chemical compositions that form a solid solution series.
The name “apophyllite” finds its roots in the Greek term “apophylliso,” which means “it flakes off.” This name choice reflects the mineral’s tendency to flake apart when exposed to heat due to dehydration. Typically, Apophyllites are found as secondary minerals in the vesicles of volcanic rocks, especially basalt.
These mineral specimens are truly exceptional, meeting all expectations associated with this mineral group. They exhibit mostly clear and transparent features, with some pieces displaying a subtle green or pink hue. Collected from Pune (formerly Poona), India, renowned for its abundance of apophyllites and zeolites in close proximity, these specimens are available in three different sizes. They will be delivered in a card tray accompanied by an information label.
