| An extraordinary pocket of Apophyllite discovered at the end of 2023. The crystals have a luminosity and brilliance never before seen; as soon as the specimens are illuminated, the light is reflected brilliantly, the white stilbite matrix adding contrast to this mirror-like effect. These microcrystals form very aesthetically pleasing spheres with perfect crystallization. Their appearance reminds me of certain Rhodochrosites from South Africa (typically "the N'Chwanning snail") which have this density of color and incomparable luster. The overall composition with its white stilbite crystals is very aesthetic and original. The Apophyllite crystallization measures 1 cm. Last thumbnail available |
