Description
This is a really unusual Indian apophyllite specimen compared to the usual one you might see. As you can see, it has a totally different look from the usual apophyllite specimen, with frosty, doubly-terminated crystals lying attractively on their sides on the matrix rather than sticking up as on specimens from other localities. Crystals measure to 3.5 cm The matrix is covered with sparkly micro-stilbites.
