The chemical formula is (K,Na)Ca₄Si₈O₂₀(F,OH) · 8H₂O. The name comes from Greek and means \u003cem\u003e\"to flake off\"\u003c\/em\u003e – a reference to the fact that the stone splits off in thin layers when exposed to heat. In nature, apophyllite forms as a secondary formation in cavities of basic volcanic rocks such as basalts or phonolites, 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 composition:\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 approx. 37g\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large main crystals combined with sugar crystals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matte cubic crystal form, natural, unpolished surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccompanying minerals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Typically zeolites (in basic volcanic rocks)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning and Traditional Significance in Crystal Healing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn crystal healing, apophyllite is traditionally associated with openness, clarity, and the feeling of free breathing. Unpolished specimens like this one are said, according to tradition, to embody a strong Yang energy – the clear, strong, and purposeful. Furthermore, in spiritual circles it is regarded as a so-called \"ascension stone,\" which is said to \u003cstrong\u003epromote\u003c\/strong\u003e calm, serenity, and confidence. In crystal lore it is said to sharpen focus and encourage emotional openness.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Perfectly clear apophyllite specimens have completely pure crystal structures without inclusions of foreign minerals – already in their natural form they appear powerful and aesthetic.
