Interesting Facts
Double-terminated crystals are highly prized in mineral collecting because they grow freely without a host rock, allowing them to form naturally pointed terminations at both ends.
Apophyllite is renowned for its incredible clarity and reflective surfaces, often exhibiting a high degree of translucency.
Stilbite, a zeolite mineral, has a soft, delicate appearance and is associated with calming and healing properties in metaphysical practices.
India is one of the premier sources of apophyllite and stilbite specimens, particularly from the Deccan Traps region, known for producing some of the finest zeolite minerals in the world.
