Scientifically speaking, apophyllites crystallize in the tetragonal or orthorhombic crystal system with the chemical composition (K,Na)Ca₄Si₈O₂₀(F,OH) · 8H₂O. As secondary formations, they typically develop in cavities of basalts, phonolites, and other basic volcanic rocks – often accompanied by zeolites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMineral class:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sheet silicate (phyllosilicate), apophyllite group\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 76 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large, matte-cubic crystals, clearly arranged, 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\u003eMeaning and Traditional Properties in Crystal Healing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn crystal healing, apophyllite is traditionally regarded as an \"ascension stone,\" to which a special effect on the mind and inner attitude is attributed.

Avoid direct heat exposure, as the mineral can flake off in thin layers under heat. For energetic cleansing, gentle methods such as charging in moonlight or on a clear quartz cluster are said, according to tradition, to be suitable.
