caption_attribution_description: English: Apophyllite-(KF), Stilbite-Ca Locality: Nasik District, Maharashtra, India (Locality at mindat.org) Size: 17.2 x 11.4 x 8.4 cm. A large SHOWPIECE combo specimen from India! It features a cluster of huge, blocky apophyllite crystals, to 5.5 cm across the termination, sitting right beside a cluster of peachy bowtie stilbites. The apophyllites have crenellated terminations with a frosty color that is really pretty atop the green apophyllite. The specimen was trimmed out beautifully, closely cropped around the two minerals on just a thin shard of matrix. In fact, this matrix extends only underneath the apophyllites - the stilbites jut out freestanding into space. A big, gorgeous piece!

context_page_description: This is a list of minerals for which there are articles on Wikipedia.
  Minerals are distinguished by various chemical and physical properties. Differences in chemical composition and crystal structure distinguish the various species. Within a mineral species there may be variation in physical properties or minor amounts of impurities that are recognized by mineralogists or wider society as a mineral variety.
  Mineral variety names are listed after the valid minerals for each letter.
