DESCRIPTIONApophyllite is one of the MOST POPULAR zeolite mineral for collectors, and this specimen from Jalgaon, India is an OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE. It is a specimen made up of large GREEN APOPHYLLITE CRYSTALS with WHITE STILBITE. I picked up this beauty from one of the Indian dealers at the TUCSON SHOW this year. I arrived at his room just as he began to unpack some of the most beautiful green apophyllites I have seen in years. He had purchased the contents of the entire pocket, and brought them straight to Tucson. I helped him unwrap the remaining crystals, then set myself to the enviable task of selecting the finest specimens from the pocket. This was one of the best; the combination of gemmy green crystals sitting on pearly white stilbite is absoulutely stunning.
Apophyllite, whose name roughly means "to leaf apart" in Greek, is a MINERAL CLASSIC. It was given its name because crystals tend to peel or flake apart when they are heated due to the loss of water molecules. Apophyllite has BEAUTY, a BRIGHT LUSTER, and interesting WELL FORMED CRYSTAL HABITS.
Although not that well-known by the general public, apophyllite is quite popular among mineral collectors. It is probably the first exotic mineral that a young collector will own after filling up on specimens of calcite, quartz, pyrite, galena, mica, fluorite, gypsum, apatite, etc, etc. After these common minerals, apophyllite seems like a real rarity and it offers so much to the collector. It has beauty, pastel colors, a bright luster, interesting well formed habits, unusual associations with other exotic minerals and recently large amounts of quality specimens have become available at amazingly low prices from just a decade ago. What more could a collector want in a mineral?
Amazingly, apophyllite is not a mineral! Not officially at least. Apophyllite is a general term for three official minerals that are similar in their chemistry and physical properties. Apophyllite is not the only mineral err . . . non-mineral that this has happened to; consider these non-minerals: apatite, olivine, serpentine and chlorite.
METAPHYSICSPeople interested in metaphysics and CRYSTAL HEALING tell us that APOPHYLLITE is very powerful for DEEP PEACEFUL STILLNESS as well as for achieving alpha state in meditation and to enhance DREAM RECALL. Apophyllite also is said to assist with clairvoyance and out of body travel. It HEALS & brings JOYOUS OPENNESS to the Heart Chakra as it opens the Brow & Crown Chakras. It also CLEARS MENTAL FUZZINESS and helps channel for a higher self and ANGELIC REALM CONTACT. Helps set truth for growth.
