Tabular, pale green apophyllite crystals growing from the side of a tall column of peach stilbite, with fine scolecite needles scattered across it, from Ahmednagar. The glassy green plates contrast clearly with the warm, sheaf-like stilbite.
Green apophyllite is one of the most sought-after minerals of the Deccan basalts, and the Ahmednagar area is a known source. The tabular habit is less usual than the familiar pyramidal crystals, and the stilbite and scolecite add contrasting color and texture.
Natural and unpolished, it is a substantial large-cabinet specimen of green apophyllite with stilbite.
