Description
Mineral(s): Fluorapophyllite-(K) and Scolecite with StilbiteLocality: Junnar, Pune District, Maharashtra, India
This is a request made a long while ago by and I finally had the chance to photograph some apophyllite. Apologies for the delay!
Anyone is welcome to request an image of a mineral here: Taking Rock and Mineral Image Requests
This specimen is actually mostly a big spray of white scolecite, but I wanted to feature the fluorapophyllite jutting out from the center of the scolecite spray. The crystals are blocky, and is mainly colorless, but with a slight tinge of green towards the base. Below the scolecite and apophyllite sits a bunch of bladed stilbite crystals.
