The name of this stone derives from the Greek word apophilliso (roughly translating to “flaky”) – and refers to the crystal’s tendency to come apart when heated. They are typically found as secondary minerals in and around volcanic rocks, predominantly in India, Germany, Canada, Norway, USA, Brazil, Japan, Ireland and Scotland. Apophyllite comes in a variety of colours from white to green and with yellow and brown tones often visible on the surface.

The Spiritual Vibes

This gorgeous stone will allow you to shed past burdens and begin a process of transformation. Apophyllite is a master energy stimulator and is often used as part of a crystal grid to enhance your connection to the universe and contribute to spiritual growth. Apophyllite resonates strongly with the Heart Chakra, has a particularly light aura that blocks negativity, and will help restore your energy. The tender nature of Apophyllite also promotes understanding and forgiveness and will help resolve communication issues with friends and family. Work with Apophyllite for dream recalling and intuition practices, as well as to open up your spiritual channels with the universe.
