This hand-selected piece, weighing \u003cstrong\u003e111 grams\u003c\/strong\u003e, comes from one of the world's most significant discovery regions for apophyllite – the basalt cavities around Nashik and Pune in the Indian state of Maharashtra, where millions of years of geological history gave rise to these fascinating cluster specimens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMineralogical Properties and Origin at a Glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGreen apophyllite belongs to the phyllosilicate group and owes its characteristic color to traces of iron that became embedded in the mineral during crystallization. The combination with stilbite – a zeolite mineral that often appears as a compact, sheaf-shaped aggregate – is typical for the cavity fillings in the Deccan Traps basalts of Maharashtra. Our experts at Crystal Paradise personally select such pieces based on crystal clarity, color depth, and cluster symmetry before they reach our shop or the showroom in Feldkirchen near Munich.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMineral:\u003c\/strong\u003e Green Apophyllite (phyllosilicate) with Stilbite (zeolite)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maharashtra, Nashik Pune, India\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 111 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Characteristic green apophyllite tips with whitish-apricot stilbite\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSurface:\u003c\/strong\u003e Naturally grown, untreated, glassy luster\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-selected, one-of-a-kind natural piece from one of the most significant apophyllite discovery regions worldwide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEnergy, Aesthetics, and Use in Stone Lore\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn stone lore, Green Apophyllite is traditionally considered a stone said to promote inner calm and clarity.

Colorless or white apophyllite does not contain these trace elements, or only in very low concentrations. Green specimens are considered especially sought-after among collectors and are individual in their color depth – no two pieces are alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere does the stilbite in this cluster come from, and what makes the combination so special?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStilbite is a zeolite mineral that often forms together with apophyllite in the cavities of the basalt rocks of Maharashtra. The combination of the crystal-clear, green apophyllite tips and the compact, sheaf-shaped stilbite is typical for the Nashik Pune discovery region and makes these clusters sought-after collector's pieces that are convincing both mineralogically and aesthetically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is this Green Apophyllite with Stilbite Cluster suitable as a gift for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is excellently suited as a gift for mineral collectors, crystal enthusiasts, wellness and mindfulness enthusiasts, as well as anyone who appreciates natural decoration with meaning.
