Post by: Availingsnail on March 09, 2020, 12:43:18 AM

Hey guys a newbie to the mineral world. I saw this apophyllite specimen. Its 9.5kgs, i believe from india.
Any ideas on suggested purchase price/ value in usd would be appreciated....
Whats good about this specimen and what is not so good?
What should I be looking for in particular from this mineral as a specimen?

Wow! No idea on value, but that’s a cool display piece for sure.

Large, well-shaped crystals, on it. Don't know the value but I saw a good cluster of green apophyllite less than 3" across for $90 at a show a couple of years ago. Wish I could have bought it.
