Description

Graet sample of Apophyllite from Jalgoan, India.

There are crystals on all sides (plus over/under), so every angle is good for display. Please click video for a better view. In the last part of the video I have turned the stone upside-down. 

Great transparancy, and you will see that a couple of the bigger crystals are double-terminated.

It is almost completely damage-free, but if you take a close look at the top you will see that probably there is a piece missing of the longer crystal. It could be it has grown this way, but I assume a part is missing. In addition minimal damage on the edges. But over all very nice.
 

My father bought this one from miners in India about 30 years ago, and have kept it ever since then.
