| Title | Apophyllite |
|---|---|
| Description | Apophyllite is a mineral classic. Although not that well-known by the general public, apophyllite is quite popular among mineral collectors. It has beauty, pastel colors, a bright luster, interesting well formed habits, and unusual associations with other exotic minerals. Unfortunately, apophyllite is not a mineral! Not officially at least. Apophyllite is a general term for three official minerals that are similar in their chemistry and physical properties. Apophyllite is not the only non-mineral that this has happened to; see these non-minerals: apatite, olivine, serpentine and chlorite. |
