Apophyllite is a mineral known for its stunning, often transparent crystals that display a vitreous (glassy) luster. It is a member of the phyllosilicate family and is highly prized by collectors and enthusiasts for its beauty and clarity.
Apophyllite forms in the cavities of volcanic rocks, particularly basalts, and is often associated with other minerals like stilbite and heulandite.
Notable apophyllite specimens often feature large, well-formed crystals that can be clear or exhibit colors like green or pink. These crystals are typically found in geodes and can vary significantly in size and shape.
