Apophyllite on Stilbite

Dimensions: 9.6 x 2.8 x 7 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 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. Pieces where several groups of crystals are joined on a matrix are very rare in this discovery. The presentation and the overall aesthetics are remarkable... very harmonious! (diameter of the crystals 1.7 and 2.2 cm).
 Dimensions without the acrylic base, which is supplied with the mineralogical specimen.
 The mineral is not glued to the base (flexible sealant).
