The chemical composition is \u003cstrong\u003e(K,Na)Ca₄Si₈O₂₀(F,OH) · 8H₂O\u003c\/strong\u003e. The name comes from Greek and means \"to leaf off\" – a reference to the fact that the stone flakes off in thin layers under the influence of heat. In nature, apophyllite forms as a secondary formation in cavities of basic volcanic rocks such as basalt or phonolite, often accompanied by 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 of this piece:\u003c\/strong\u003e India\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144g\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matte-cubic, clear crystals on natural matrix\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccompanying minerals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Often zeolites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompletely clear apophyllites without inclusions of other minerals exhibit particularly pure crystal structures and already appear aesthetically powerful in their unpolished form.

A single crystal, on the other hand, has been detached from the matrix rock and stands alone. The specimen shows the original growth form of the mineral and is therefore considered a particularly authentic collector's piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere does this Apophyllite Specimen come from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece comes from India, one of the world's most significant sites for apophyllite. Indian apophyllites are frequently found in cavities of basaltic rocks, often together with zeolites as accompanying minerals. The weight of this specimen is 144g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I properly care for and clean my Apophyllite Specimen?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApophyllite is sensitive to heat and moisture. It is best to clean the specimen with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid direct sunlight over extended periods and do not expose the stone to heat, as it may otherwise flake off in thin layers. For energetic cleansing, crystal healing tradition recommends placing it next to a clear quartz or briefly exposing it to moonlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is an Apophyllite Specimen suitable for as a gift?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Apophyllite Specimen is an extraordinary gift for mineral collectors, wellness enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates natural beauty in their home.
