Mineralogical and aesthetic description:
The specimen shows a prominent crystallisation of white apophyllite, with well defined translucent crystals irregularly distributed over a dark grey chalcedony base. This matrix creates a very strong contrast with the white apophyllite, enhancing the crystal geometry and providing a clear and powerful visual reading of the mineral assemblage.
Among the apophyllite crystals, small stilbite formations in peach tones can be observed, introducing warm nuances and a subtle chromatic counterpoint within the overall composition. The presence of basalt as the host rock reinforces the geological character of the specimen and provides a visually solid and stable base.
Please note:
Although it can be positioned vertically for display, the use of rear support and a stable surface is recommended to ensure proper stability.
Unique piece. The exact specimen shown in the images will be shipped.
