Where it belongs
Apophyllite belongs where changing daylight can pass through it - a living-room shelf or reading nook where each face alternately reflects and transmits the room.
Formation
How it came to be
It grows in cavities left by ancient basalt flows, crystallising from mineral-rich water after the lava has cooled and fractured.
Apophyllite commonly forms after volcanic activity, when water carrying dissolved minerals moves through open cavities in basalt.
Its square-ended crystals can gather into radiating sprays. In clear examples, the architecture appears both precise and unexpectedly delicate.
The flower-like form is not imitation. It is the result of repeated crystal growth arranged around shared points, an inorganic structure that happens to echo a living one.
The Object
We look for clear, well-formed crystals arranged in open sprays, with enough separation for light to pass between the individual forms.
Closer In
Each apparently simple petal is a faceted crystal with reflective cleavage planes and fine growth edges visible under close light.
