Geological Information
Minerals: Apophyllite & Orange Heulandite
Crystal System: Tetragonal (Apophyllite) / Trigonal (Heulandite)
Hardness: 4.5–5 (Apophyllite), 6.5–7 (Heulandite)
Apophyllite commonly forms within cavities in volcanic rocks where mineral-rich fluids slowly crystallise into transparent, highly reflective crystals. Heulandite develops as microscopic Quartz crystals deposited from silica-rich solutions, creating smooth botryoidal formations that beautifully complement the larger Apophyllite crystals.
