Appearance & origins
Apophyllite is often found as transparent to translucent crystals with a glassy or pearly luster. It typically forms in cubic or pyramidal shapes and is most commonly colorless, though it can also occur in shades of green, white, yellow, or pink. The crystal is delicate and may have a slightly flaky texture due to its tendency to cleave easily.
Apophyllite is commonly found in basalt and volcanic rock formations. Major sources include India, Brazil, Iceland, and areas of North America such as Oregon and New Jersey.
