Interesting Facts
Stilbite and apophyllite are both zeolite minerals commonly found together in Indian basalt formations, particularly in the renowned deposits of Maharashtra, India. Stilbite, with its soft pearlescent luster and bladed crystal habit, complements the highly reflective, glassy formations of apophyllite, making specimens like this highly sought after. These minerals are also believed to have calming and uplifting properties, often used in metaphysical practices.
