The chemical composition is \u003cstrong\u003e(K,Na)Ca₄Si₈O₂₀(F,OH) · 8H₂O\u003c\/strong\u003e. The name derives from the Greek term for \"to leaf off\" – a reference to the fact that the mineral splits into thin layers when exposed to heat. In nature, apophyllite forms as a secondary formation in cavities of basalts, phonolites, and other basic volcanic rocks, often in the company of zeolites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\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 98 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large apophyllite crystals together with sugar crystals on one specimen\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Secondary formation in volcanic cavities, often accompanied by zeolite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEnergetic Meaning – What Apophyllite Is Said to Support\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn crystal healing lore, apophyllite is traditionally associated with expansiveness, clarity, and the feeling of being able to breathe freely.
