Apophyllite on Calcite, Quartz

specimen number:
9231057

location:
Fengjiashan Mine, Daye Co., Hubei, China

description:
Very neat combination piece consisting of a 9.5 x 8.5 x 6.0 cm cluster of colorless translucent semi-lustrous prismatic quartz crystals, this mostly covered by rhombohedral crystals of calcite to almost 3.0 cm in size. All of the calcite crystals are in turn coated with small tiny sparkling gemmy crystals of apophyllite, these colored pink due to inesite inclusions. Minimal chipping low on the largest quartz crystal on the front of the piece, still I think in very good condition overall. Sits beautifully by itself for display and is crystallize nicely all around. Shipping weight: 0.73 pounds.
