Marshy Apophyllite Crystal Specimen with Celadonite & Hematite - India - 11g

A marshy apophyllite crystal specimen with celadonite and hematite from Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India. Look for the hazy green and red inclusions trapped inside the glassy crystals.

Stone Facts:

• "Marshy" describes apophyllite with a hazy, swampy look caused by inclusions; here, green celadonite and red hematite are trapped inside the crystals
• Celadonite is a green mica-group mineral that often lines cavities in basalt, and hematite is iron oxide
• Apophyllite is a group of sheet silicate minerals that form glassy crystals, often with square cross-sections
• It commonly grows in cavities in basalt alongside zeolites such as stilbite and heulandite
• It sits at Mohs 4.5–5 and cleaves easily, so handle the crystal points with care
• Maharashtra sits on the Deccan Traps, vast layers of volcanic basalt around 66 million years old and one of the world's richest sources of zeolite and apophyllite specimens

Traditional & Folklore Properties:

• Apophyllite is traditionally associated with clarity and reflection
