Description
This listing features a 100% genuine Apophyllite Crystal from India. The specimen in the photo is the actual piece you will receive, hand-selected for its pristine clarity, defined crystal structure, and lustrous surfaces. A 1cm scale cube is shown in the image for full sizing reference.
Apophyllite is a highly sought-after mineral in both scientific and metaphysical circles. Often found in Indian basalt quarries, it frequently forms radiant clusters alongside minerals like stilbite. This mineral is well known for its perfect terminations, transparent to translucent quality, and calming energetic properties.
