The chemical composition is (K,Na)Ca₄Si₈O₂₀(F,OH) · 8H₂O. The name comes from the Greek and means \"to leaf off\" – a reference to the mineral's characteristic tendency to flake apart into thin layers when exposed to heat. In nature, apophyllite frequently forms as a secondary mineral in cavities of basalts, phonolites, or other basic volcanic rocks, often accompanied by zeolites. At Crystal Paradise, all specimens are carefully hand-selected so that only pieces of genuine quality and natural beauty make it into our shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMineral class:\u003c\/strong\u003e Phyllosilicates (sheet silicates), 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:\u003c\/strong\u003e India\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 92 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural cluster with matte, cubic crystals\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 Use in Crystal Healing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn crystal healing, apophyllite is traditionally regarded as a stone of expansiveness, clarity, and free breathing.
