Green Quartz with Stunning Apophyllite Formations

Approximate dimensions:

1.6" x 1.0" x 0.8" inches

Weight: 34 grams

Green quartz with apophyllite formation is a truly unique mineral specimen that will add both visual appeal and scientific interest to any collection. This mineral is composed of silicon dioxide, which is the most abundant mineral in the Earth's crust, and forms as a result of crystallization from magma or hydrothermal fluids.

What sets this particular specimen apart is the presence of apophyllite formations on the surface of the green quartz. Apophyllite is a type of phyllosilicate mineral that forms in volcanic and hydrothermal environments, and is characterized by its tetragonal crystal structure and square pyramidal habit. The bright, white apophyllite crystals contrast beautifully with the green quartz, creating a stunning visual display.

The green color of the quartz is due to the presence of trace amounts of iron or chromium, and can range from pale green to a deep emerald green. The quartz crystals themselves have a hexagonal crystal system, and display prismatic or pyramidal habits. The green coloration and unique apophyllite formations make this specimen highly desirable to collectors and geologists alike.

From a geological standpoint, the presence of both quartz and apophyllite on this specimen indicates that it likely formed in a volcanic or hydrothermal environment. The green coloration suggests the presence of iron or chromium in the fluid from which it crystallized, while the apophyllite formations suggest a specific set of chemical conditions that allowed for their growth.

Overall, this green quartz with apophyllite formation is a truly remarkable mineral specimen that will make a valuable addition to any collection. Its scientific interest and unique visual appeal make it a standout piece that will be sure to impress.
