This specimen features hydroxyapophyllite crystals with lizardite and calcite on matrix. Properly called "hydroxyapophyllite-(K)," hydroxyapophyllite is a variety of apophyllite that is typically colorless. It more frequently grows cubic crystals, but these specimens from the renowned N'Chwaning Mines region form tabular square crystals similar to wulfenite, and can be colorless to semi-translucent white with inclusions.

This specimen has a cluster of intersecting hydroxyapophyllite crystals topped with a cluster of small scalenohedral calcite crystals. The matte light brown mineral coating is lizardite, which often grows in small spots along the junctions of the hydroxyapophyllite crystal. Calcite covers the back of the specimen. The dark matrix is likely manganese-based; the N'Chwaning mines were established to extract the rich manganese ore in the area. The coffee-brown staining may be iron.

UV reactivity Some calcite fluoresces and phosphoresces weak red under 365 nm UV light. It can cause the hydroxyapophyllite crystals growing over it to glow a faint red—try it in a dark room with a strong flashlight.

** Brittle warning! Hydroxyapophyllite specimens are somewhat delicate and may shed pieces; limit handling.

Love this beautiful serving plate!
Beautiful, meaningful, loving energy radiates from this practical serving plate. I bought it as a gift for my daughter for her bridal shower. Every time she and her husband use it, it sets a loving, kind and welcoming tone for each other, and all who share a meal with them!

Good quality and value
I gave one to each my sister and sister in law. They loved it. Good quality and size. I’d buy it again. It’s not a perfect round, so if anal it might bother you. I loved it.

Exactly as pictured
Pay close attention to the picture of this item. The printing looks off center and the plate is not completely round. See the top in the picture where it goes out of round. It is exactly as you see in the photo. Purchased as a gift but looks off to me so I returned it
