Description
This high‑grade specimen displays the uncommon tabular habit of apophyllite, with three, 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. One apophyllite crystal is partial where it was attached to the pocket.
Features:
- Thick, well‑developed tabular crystal geometry
- High clarity with crisp, reflective faces
- Internal and external celadonite crystals
- Natural micro‑inclusions from the pocket environment
- Sourced from Nashik, Maharashtra, India
- 35x30x30mm and 21g
This is a crystal habit and inclusion pairing that seldom appears on the market.
