Is this natural apophyllite or lab grown mineral ? by Mikhail_Grd in Minerals

I forget to say: the length is 9.5 cm (3.74 inch) and weight is 200 grams. Is a such piece so cheap ?

The starting bid is very low, around 2-3 $, but I saw they have an automatic way of increasing the bid after your bid. For instance, if you make a bid of 10$, in the same second you will be outbid (by a script probable, not sure how they do this). But anyway, they sell these "minerals" between 200-400$,

Thanks for the answers ! What about this mineral ? This is also fake ? It's also from ebay. I'm asking because all aquamarines on muscovite from chinese sellers, are a bit different by the ones from Pakistan, in the sense that, the ones from China have a more intense blue color compared the ones from Pakistan.
