A truly special specimen. This sharp-terminated green apophyllite displays one of the most intense, saturated greens we have seen from Jalgaon: a vivid emerald-to-teal color that the photos capture accurately, and that is even more vibrant in person. Green apophyllite of this depth and evenness of color is rare, even among India's finest finds.

The dense cluster of sharp, glassy apophyllite crystals forms a bold green band down the length of the specimen, with dozens of crisp pyramidal terminations catching the light from every angle. The crystals are lustrous and translucent, so the color glows rather than appearing flat, and it shifts subtly between emerald and minty teal as the piece is turned.

The vibrant green is framed by a backdrop of delicate white stilbite, which sharpens the contrast and makes the apophyllite color stand out even more. Its impressive size and self-standing nature make it an ideal statement piece. This unique natural mineral specimen is a rare find, offering an exceptional blend of color, beauty and rarity, perfect for collectors seeking the very best in green apophyllite.
