TheApophyllite is a mineral from the Apophyllite group, which belongs to the sheet silicates. Structurally, the apophyllites belong to the sheet silicates (phyllosilicates). They crystallize in the tetragonal crystal system or in the orthorhombic crystal system with the chemical composition (K,Na)Ca₄Si₈O₂₀(F,OH)·8H₂O. The minerals of the Apophyllite group are found, often accompanied by zeolites, as secondary formations in cavities in basalts, phonolites, or other basic volcanic rocks.

Properties of Apophyllite:

• Yang energy and purposefulness: Uncut apophyllites are often associated withstrong, dominant Yang energy. They represent the clear, the strong, and the purposeful.
• Natural purity: Completely clear apophyllites contain no other minerals and therefore havecompletely pure crystal structures1. Even in their uncut form, they appear beautiful and powerful.

Effect of uncut Apophyllite:

• Clarity and focus: In stone lore, Apophyllite is traditionally regarded as a stone of clarity in thought and action. It helps to set goals and focus on the essentials.
