Teal-green apophyllite crystals rise in sharp, lustrous prisms across this striking specimen from Sakur in Maharashtra, India. Delicate celadonite inclusions tint the otherwise water-clear apophyllite with soothing sea-green to bluish-teal hues, producing a rare and visually cohesive color palette across the cluster.
As the specimen shifts under light, transparent terminations refract soft flashes through the crystal bodies while the darker basaltic matrix beneath provides dimensional contrast. The result is a balanced interplay of clarity, color, and structure that captures the signature aesthetic of Deccan Traps zeolitic mineralization.

Size: 82 × 77 × 74 mm (3.23 × 3.03 × 2.91 in)
A meaningful addition for collectors who value Indian apophyllite for its pristine crystal form, rare celadonite coloration, and classic basalt-hosted zeolite associations from the Deccan volcanic province.
