A narrow, elongated cabinet piece of cube-form apophyllite from Nashik. Large, blocky, frosted white crystals with square edges and flat terminations dominate the upper part, with smaller clear crystals below.
Apophyllite crystallizes in the tetragonal system, and some Deccan pockets yield blocky, square-sided crystals with flat terminations that collectors call apophyllite cubes. They are less common than the familiar pointed pyramids and give a very different, architectural look.
A good example of cubic apophyllite for collectors interested in less common crystal habits.
