Apophyllite

Apophyllite Metaphysical Properties and Meaning
Apophyllite is used a conduit gemstone for connecting to higher realms, facilitating deeper meditation, strengthening intuitive abilities, and allowing for clearer communication with spirit guides. A gem of the Third Eye Chakra and Crown Chakra, Apophyllite heightens our awareness of the unseen and the unknown, allowing us the opportunity to look beyond what we know and open ourselves to new ideas, experiences, and sources of wisdom. Believed to be a powerful crystal for divination, receiving prophetic visions, lucid dreaming, spiritual healing, and Astral travel, Apophyllite has a reputation for magnifying our supernatural gifts and imparting clarity of mind. Apophyllite is a stone of heightened perspective, helping us to rise above pettiness and chaos to look at difficulties as puzzles to solve, rather than sources of suffering. Because of its ties to the Air and Water elements, Apophyllite brings us the gifts of refined knowledge and emotional flexibility, crafting a serene balance between our mind and feelings to let us shed our stresses and focus on the matter at hand.

The Apophyllite group (sometimes referred to as the Fisheye Stone or Pyramidal Zeolite) refers to a specific class of phyllosilicates often found in basalts or granite. Members of the Apophyllite group include (but are not limited to) Fluorapophyllite, Chromocyclite, Leucocyclite, and Hydroxyapophyllite. Most specimens that collectors refer to as "Apophyllite" are specifically Fluorapophyllite, which ranges from colorless to pale green, yellow, or even light pink and may be translucent to opaque. As phyllosilicates, Apophyllite group gems are sensitive to heat and can become brittle if exposed to sunlight excessively.
