An exceptionally aesthetic gemmy green Apophyllite crystal cluster emerging from a luminous bed of creamy white Stilbite with additional Apophyllite. The vivid mint-to-seafoam green crystals display excellent translucency and glassy luster, beautifully contrasted by the soft, pearly matrix. This is a classic yet increasingly scarce Deccan Traps zeolite association, ideal for both serious collectors and refined display.

Extended Product Description
This specimen features a striking cluster of gem-clear green Apophyllite crystals rising confidently from a snowy bed of white Stilbite and secondary Apophyllite growth. The green crystals show excellent clarity with internal glow, catching light beautifully and producing flashes across their natural faces.
The Stilbite matrix forms a soft, sculptural foundation with subtle peach-white tones, enhancing the color contrast while preserving an organic, flowing aesthetic. The composition is visually balanced and three-dimensional, making it an outstanding shelf or cabinet specimen that looks equally impressive from multiple viewpoints.
Locality
Sourced from the legendary Deccan Traps,
Maharashtra, India
Geological Formation
The Deccan Traps represent one of the largest volcanic provinces on Earth. Repeated basaltic lava flows created gas-rich cavities (vesicles). Over time, hydrothermal fluids circulated through these cavities, depositing zeolite minerals such as Apophyllite and Stilbite in layered, sequential crystal growth.
Mineralogy Information
- Apophyllite: Potassium calcium silicate hydroxide fluoride
- Stilbite: Sodium calcium aluminum silicate hydrate (zeolite group)
- Hardness: ~4.5–5 (Apophyllite), ~3.5–4 (Stilbite)
- Crystal System: Tetragonal (Apophyllite), Monoclinic (Stilbite)
Key Features
- Rare green coloration caused by trace elements
- High transparency for the species
- Clean matrix with minimal damage
- Natural termination and growth zoning visible
- Classic association highly sought after by collectors
Geological Era
Late Cretaceous Period, approximately 66 million years ago
Mineral Class
Silicates — Zeolites & Phyllosilicate-related structures
Rock Formation
Basaltic volcanic rock with secondary zeolite cavity infill
Historical & Folklore Notes
Indian zeolites have been collected since the 19th century and are featured in museums worldwide. In metaphysical lore, green Apophyllite is often associated with renewal, heart-centered awareness, and clarity, while Stilbite is linked to gentle grounding and dreamwork.
