These are beautiful raw pieces of apophyllite with a little zeolite. #1 is 145 grams, #2 is 184 grams and #3 is 218 grams. Physically, apophyllite can help clear and heal respiratory problems, relieve allergy symptoms, heal skin rashes, and combat fatigue and exhaustion. Even in the most stressful situations, this unique crystal can clear negative energy and promote a sense of calm and relaxation.
It is also found in the rocks surrounding hot springs. Under some conditions it alters to calcite, and to pectolite. The name Apophyllite is derived from two Greek words meaning to get leaves, because of its tendency to exfoliate when ignited.
Although not suitable for jewelry, apophyllite is a popular collector's piece. Perhaps the whitest of all gems, some cut specimens are so devoid of color they can appear almost silvery. This stone is not rare, but facetable material is quite scarce.
