Description
This specimen displays the uncommon tabular habit of apophyllite, with a thick, intergrown, sharply defined tabular crystal 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. This piece has a couple of dings and dents, and an attachment scar where it was connected to the pocket. Priced with those things in mind, making this a great piece to grab at a low price.
