Description

One of my earliest collection foci (mid 90s) was on crystal habitus. This transparent apophyllite at the time was a reasonable miniature with good lustre.

Main apophyllite crystal is sharp and very lustrous, to the point that photography becomes very hard. Other points feature cleavages and contacts. Overall rather pleasant.
