Apophyllite frequently occurs in zeolite minerals in basalt

and then are later filled in with other minerals

The chambers of the Ammonite acted as tiny geodes

it would help prevent them from becoming intoxicated

much the same as in fine wood used for inlay purposes

9-1/4" Brazilian Agate Slice (with stand) a05003c5a2014b8e4ac0627e02162c48 Apophyllite frequently occurs in zeoliteBrazilian Agates are found in the southern states in basalt formations from 4 to 40 feet deep and at elevations of about 2500 to 3500 feet above sea level. Agate is a variety of silica composed of alternating layers of various colored chert or quartz. Agates were named after the Acate River in Sicily where the stones were originally found.
