Glassy green Apophylite crystals with multiple minute, well terminated crystals forming the crown of the whole apohyllite crystal in association with translucent Stilbite on minute crystals of orange Heulandite forming the base. The whole arrangement of crystals takes an aesthetic stalactitic  form which imparts beauty to the specimen.

Another unusual feature of the specimen is that the heulandite crystals forming the base are in parts orange and part grey which makes the specimen interesting. The mattrix is made up of porous weathered basalt.
