Though India has for years been producing specimens of both of these minerals in large quantities, the vast majority of them are mediocre, so the really aesthetic ones really stand out and are still quite desirable (and tend to sell rapidly at shows even amongst the tonnage of more common level material). Here is a super-gemmy, blocky-style crystal of apophyllite, with a couple of small sidecar apophs and accenting crystals of peachy-pink stilbite. Sits up artfully on a custom-made acrylic base that comes with the specimen.
