Description
This high‑grade specimen displays the uncommon tabular habit of apophyllite, with four, thick, intergrown, sharply defined tabular crystals and excellent clarity. Delicate internal and external celadonite inclusions create a blue‑green glow that is rarer in tabular crystals than in the classic cubic habit. This piece also contains tiny dark‑to‑green micro‑inclusions typical of Maharashtra crystal pockets — natural celadonite‑rich or iron‑oxide–bearing grains trapped during crystal growth.
Features:
- Thick, well‑developed tabular apophyllite crystal geometry
- High clarity with crisp, reflective faces
- Classic apophyllite striations on the edge faces
- Internal and external celadonite crystals
- Natural micro‑inclusions from the pocket environment
- Sourced from Nashik, Maharashtra, India
- 45x28x25mm and 32g
This is a collector‑grade example of a habit and inclusion pairing that seldom appears on the market.
