Stilbite and Apophyllite

This stilbite and apophyllite formed within cavities in the basalt flows of the Deccan Traps, where mineral-rich hydrothermal fluids slowly deposited delicate crystal clusters over time. The Jalgaon District is one of India’s most celebrated zeolite localities, known for producing elegant associations of stilbite and glassy apophyllite.

The soft luster of stilbite paired with the sharp clarity of apophyllite reflects the quiet mineral-forming processes that followed ancient volcanic activity across western India.
