Apophyllite Quartz

This is a free standing specimen of apophyllite formed with quartz.

Origin: India

Dimensions: 4 3/4" x 3 1/4" x 3 1/4"

History and Metaphysical Properties:

The name apophyllite refers to a specific group of phyllosilicates, a class of minerals that also includes the micas. These minerals are typically found as secondary minerals in holes in basalt or other igneous rocks. Apophyllites are popular as collector's minerals due to a combination of factors, including their abundance, color variety, and well-defined crystals. Naturally forming pyramidal structures, they refract light in obvious rainbows, and can form "natural pyramids" when subjected to rock tumbling.

Although not as well known to the general public, specimens of apophyllite are relatively ubiquitous and are a favored collectors stone, with the finest clarity of specimens usually coming from India. Apophyllite has an incredibly high vibrational resonance, and is used to support interdimensional travel and communication, infusion of spiritual light and assists in meditation. It’s also used to aid in connecting with spirit guides/angels, along with their higher self.
