Apophyllite, Green Apophyllite, Stilbite Specimen | 1363

Apophyllite, also known as "Fish-Eye Stone," is best known for its pearly, translucent luster and its ability to enhance spiritual connection and clarity.

Apophyllite forms in volcanic regions as hydrothermal fluids rich in silica seep into cavities within basalt rocks, where it crystallizes over time. Apophyllite's creation involves the cooling and evaporation of mineral-rich water, which leaves behind its distinctive crystalline formations.

Apophyllite's structure is characterized by its tetragonal crystal system, often forming pyramid-like shapes or thin plates.

Apophyllite is commonly found in India, Brazil, and certain regions of Iceland and the United States.

Green Cubic Apophyllite, also known as "Fluorapophyllite," is best known for its radiant green hue and ability to amplify spiritual and emotional clarity.

Green Cubic Apophyllite is created through the hydrothermal process, where silica-rich solutions rich in calcium, potassium, and fluorine crystallize in volcanic voids. Over time, these solutions cool and solidify, forming the unique cubic crystals.

Green Cubic Apophyllite has a tetragonal crystal structure, characterized by its transparency and vitreous luster.

Green Cubic Apophyllite is commonly found in India, particularly in the Deccan Traps, and also in other volcanic regions like Brazil and Iceland.

Stilbite, also known as Desmine, is best known for its pearly luster and radiating crystal formations.

Stilbite forms in volcanic rocks as a secondary mineral, developing when silica-rich fluids seep through cavities and cool slowly. Stilbite's creation is facilitated by low temperatures and pressures, often within basaltic environments.

Stilbite has a layered, sheet-like structure made up of interconnected silicate chains.

Stilbite is commonly found in India, Iceland, and the United States, particularly within zeolite-rich deposits.
