Two large, blocky apophyllite crystals stacked at an angle, from Nashik, with a few smaller crystals at the base. The crystals are frosted white to gray-white, with square outlines and flat terminations, and they build an elongated, architectural form.
Apophyllite crystallizes in the tetragonal system, and some Deccan pockets yield these blocky, square-sided crystals that collectors call apophyllite cubes. They are less common than the familiar pointed pyramids.
A tidy cabinet example of cube-form apophyllite from the Deccan basalts.
