Large Apophyllite & Peach Calcite

Apophyllite & Peach Calcite

Product Overview This combined specimen features the high vitreous luster of Apophyllite crystals alongside the warm, pastel tones of Peach Calcite. The Apophyllite typically exhibits sharp pyramidal or prismatic forms with a distinct pearlescent sheen on the cleavage surfaces, while the Peach Calcite provides a soft, opaque contrast. This mineral association creates a sophisticated visual balance between light-refracting clarity and solid mineral density.

Origin & Formation Specimens of this variety are primarily recovered from the zeolite-rich basalt formations of the Deccan Plateau in India. They form within vesicles (gas cavities) in volcanic rock where mineral-rich hydrothermal fluids circulate and crystallize over geological time. The resulting clusters are prized by collectors for their complex structural detail and unique color palette.
