Apophyllite is said to be one of the more powerful stones, mainly known for meditation purposes, as it's said to awaken the soul. The stone is often deemed an essential collector's mineral, though it's not rare at all — in fact, it's abundant worldwide. That said, certain colors of apophyllite are rare and facetable crystals are scarce. Healing Properties: Apophyllite is a spiritually potent stone that clears negative energy, removes emotional blockages, reduces stress and anxiety, and taps into hidden psychic powers, including clairvoyance and deepened spiritual practice. Though relatively unfamiliar to the general public, apophyllites are fairly prevalent around the world, with specimens coming from some of the world's most well-known mineral localities. These localities include: Jalgaon, India; the Harz Mountains of Germany, Mont Saint-Hilaire in Canada, and Kongsberg, Norway, with other locations in Scotland, Ireland, Brazil, Japan, and throughout the United States. Apophyllite has an unusual structure for a phyllosilicate. Whereas most phyllosilicates have a T layer (silica backbone) consisting of interlocked 6-fold rings of silica tetrahedra, with pseudohexagonal symmetry, the T layer in apophyllite consists of interlocked 4-fold and 8-fold rings of silica tetrahedra with true tetragonal symmetry.
