Stilbite and Apophyllite are minerals commonly found together in volcanic basalt cavities. These cavities formed as gas bubbles within cooling lava, which later allowed mineral-rich fluids to crystallise into the beautiful formations seen today.

India, particularly the Deccan Traps region, is one of the world's most famous sources for zeolite minerals and produces some of the finest Stilbite and Apophyllite specimens.
