‘Strawberry Swirl’ Hematite Apophyllite K

Hematite included apophyllite on a white heulandite and basalt matrix from the “Strawberry Swirl” pocket, a name we gave to this unique find from the Pune district of India. These feature unique apophyllite formations with beautiful clarity, allowing you to see down to the contrasting matrix beneath. The soft white heulandite paired with the rich hematite inclusions creates a layered, swirling appearance that inspired the pocket’s nickname. 

This specimen has been cut with a flat base, allowing it to self-display with ease.
