Apophyllite and Stilbite from Jalgaon District, India

Apophyllite and Stilbite from Jalgaon District, Nashik Division, Maharashtra, India

Nice specimens of Apophyllite and Stilbite from Jalgaon district.

Apophyllite in this instance is the gemmy clear mineral; stilbite is the pale peachy mineral. They are both zeolite group minerals and often occur together; we see a lot of similar Zeolites from this locale with Heulandite, Stilbite and Apophyllite mixed.

The apophyllite from this area is most likely fluorapophyllite but no analysis has been done.
