Green Apophyllite
$725.00
This Green Apophyllite from India is a stunning variety of apophyllite that stands out due to its distinctive mint-green hue. These crystals are typically transparent to translucent and have a lustrous, glass-like appearance. Apophyllite commonly forms in cubic or prismatic shapes, with sharp, well-defined edges. This green coloration is due to trace amounts of elements such as vanadium, chromium, or iron present during its formation.
India, particularly the Deccan Traps in the state of Maharashtra, is renowned for producing some of the finest green apophyllite specimens in the world. The volcanic basalt rock in this region is rich in zeolites, and green apophyllite often grows alongside other minerals like stilbite, creating visually appealing and highly collectible specimens.
Collectors prize green apophyllite not only for its beauty but also for its metaphysical properties. It is believed to have calming and healing energies, helping to clear mental blocks, reduce stress, and enhance spiritual insight. These crystals are often used in meditation and energy healing practices.
