Its chemical composition is (K,Na)Ca₄Si₈O₂₀(F,OH) · 8H₂O. The name derives from Greek and means \"to leaf off\" – a reference to how the stone flakes off in thin layers when exposed to heat. In nature, apophyllite forms as a secondary mineral in cavities of basalts, phonolites, and other basic volcanic rocks, often found alongside zeolites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMineral group:\u003c\/strong\u003e Apophyllite group, sheet silicates (phyllosilicates)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal system:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tetragonal or orthorhombic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChemical formula:\u003c\/strong\u003e (K,Na)Ca₄Si₈O₂₀(F,OH) · 8H₂O\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e India\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 133 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sugar crystals on all sides, matte cube-shaped crystal form, natural purity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccompanying minerals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Often found together with zeolites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTraditional Meaning – What Apophyllite Is Said to Promote According to Tradition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn stone healing lore, apophyllite is traditionally considered a stone of clarity and expansiveness.
