Apophyllite is a family of phyllosilicate minerals known for their characteristic glassy lustre and distinct crystal formations, often appearing as sparkling clusters, pyramid-like points, or geometric cubes. It is usually found in volcanic rock formations. While it can be found in white, green, yellow, or pink, the most common varieties are clear or white, which possess an intense sparkle. Green Apophyllite is a rare and highly prized variation.
Apophyllite is known as the "Stone of Spiritual Gateway" or the "Reiki Stone." It has an incredibly high vibration that stimulates the Third Eye and Crown Chakras, making it one of the premier stones for meditation, scrying, and connecting with the spirit world. It is exceptional for clearing negative energy and bringing light energy into the heart, helping to relieve anxiety, stress, and fear, and encouraging one to speak the truth.
Hardness: 4.5 to 5 on the Mohs scale (making it relatively soft and fragile).
Chakra: Primarily the Third Eye Chakra (for intuition and clairvoyance) and the Crown Chakra (for spiritual connection). Green Apophyllite also connects to the Heart Chakra.
Zodiac Sign: Gemini and Libra.
Benefits: Promotes deep meditation and astral travel, enhances intuition, clairvoyance, and spiritual insight, relieves stress, anxiety, and worry, facilitates self-discovery and emotional honesty, and is an excellent environmental cleanser and energy transmitter.
Source: India (the primary source for high-quality clusters), Brazil, Iceland, Canada.
How to use Apophyllite
Place it in your home: Keep a cluster in your meditation space or bedroom to maintain a high-vibrational, peaceful atmosphere and to purify the air of stagnant or negative energies.
Meditate with it: Place a small point or cluster on your Third Eye during meditation to quickly achieve a deep, tranquil state, facilitating contact with spirit guides and accessing Akashic Records.
Carry it: Due to its fragility, it is usually not carried in a pocket. Instead, use it as a "Reiki amplifier," placing it on the body during energy work to intensify the healing energy transfer.
Wear it: If set securely in jewellery, wear it to keep its uplifting and clarifying energy close, helping you remain calm and honest in communication.
Use for scrying: The clear pyramid formations are perfect for scrying (gazing), helping you see visions or gain insights into the past, present, or future.
