Apophyllite sur Stilbite
Dimensions: 7 x 5 x 7.3 cm
Locality: 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. These pieces remind me, in appearance, of certain Rhodochrosites from South Africa (typically "the N'Chwanning snail") which have this density of color and incomparable brilliance. The composition of the whole, with its white stilbite crystals, is very aesthetic and original. The Apophyllite crystallization measures 1 cm. A very aesthetic piece with its 3 perfectly crystallized Stilbite crystals.
Dimensions without the acrylic base, which is supplied with the mineralogical specimen.
The mineral is not glued to the base (flexible sealant).
