About Apophyllite
Apophyllite is a group of phyllosilicate minerals that forms square, glassy prismatic and pyramidal crystals, usually colorless to white and sometimes pale green. It grows as a secondary mineral in gas pockets in basalt, often alongside zeolites such as stilbite, which is why the two names travel together. Jalgaon in India is one of the best known sources. Apophyllite is about 4.5 to 5 on the Mohs scale.
Stone Meaning: Apophyllite is traditionally associated with spiritual growth and inner peace.
