Two large, blocky apophyllite crystals stacked one above the other from Nashik, each with square outlines and flat tops rather than the more typical pyramidal points. The crystals are white to colorless with a frosted, pearly surface, and smaller clear crystals sit where the two meet.
Apophyllite crystallizes in the tetragonal system, and some Deccan pockets yield these blocky, square-sided crystals with flat terminations that collectors call apophyllite cubes. They are less common than the familiar pointed pyramids.
A solid, well-sized cabinet example of cube-form apophyllite from one of Maharashtra's main zeolite districts.
