Green Apophyllite on Basalt with Stilbite
Apophyllite-(KF) is a hallmark mineral of the Deccan Traps volcanic province, forming within gas cavities of flood basalts laid down roughly 66 million years ago across Maharashtra. The vivid mint-green hue here comes from trace vanadium within the tetragonal crystal structure — the most sought-after colour variety of apophyllite, and far scarcer than the common white and clear forms. A fringe of peach stilbite — a sheet-silicate zeolite — lines the contact zone between crystals and matrix, recording the sequential hydrothermal deposition that is the signature of the Nashik-Pune corridor specimens. This piece was sourced by the Shaikh family, whose multi-generational artisanal mining practice focuses on careful hand-extraction to preserve matrix integrity and crystal terminations.
