Mozartite : CaMn3+[OH|SiO4], Apophyllite-(KF) : KCa4[(F,OH)|Si8O20] · 8H2O

Jalgaon District, Maharashtra, India

There are some really fine Indian specimens in this set of auctions. This is one you do not see too often: opaque "yellow-umber" apophyllite to 3 cm on edge. The color is due to inclusions and the mineral doing the including is a rare species called mozartite. 12.5 x 8.5 x 7.4 cm

When these specimens started showing up on the market several years ago they became instant classics. This butterscotch-colored specimen features several crystals that are penetration twinned. This fine specimen's unusual color is due to inclusions of the rare mineral Mozartite.
specimen size = 4.2 x 3 x 2.5 cm.
