Apophyllite on Stilbite

Dimensions: 4.5 x 4.2 x 9.7 cm
 Location: An extraordinary pocket of Apophyllite discovered at the end of 2023. The crystals possess an unprecedented luminosity and brilliance; 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 highly aesthetic 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 1.6 cm.
 Dimensions without the acrylic base, which is supplied with the mineralogical specimen.
 The mineral is not glued to the base (flexible sealant).
