Apophyllite Meaning: Healing Properties & Everyday Uses

What is Apophyllite
Apophyllite is a class of mineral from the Phyllosilicate family. The meaning of the name comes from the Greek for ‘flake off’. Apophyllite is usually a white crystal but it can also come in shades of blue, green, yellow, and pink or even colorless. It is believed to calm the mind and be a cleanser of negative thoughts.

Calm the Mind & Raise your Vibration
Coming from the Greek word of ‘Apo’ and ‘Phyllon’, the Apophyllite crystal captures its name from its flaky like silicate texture and a touch that is as soft as snow. Despite the delicate sounding name, this crystal is spiritually strong and shot with incredibly high vibrations. It’s a soul star stone, a place where the masculine and feminine energies meet, and a crystal of divine white light that is ever ready to project you to places of astral travel and deep insight.

First discovered in the early 19th century by R.J Hauy, Apophyllite comes shot with different shades but is more often than not as white as the surging froth of a racing river. There is also the Green Apophyllite Stone which is the rarest of the family and holds notes of love, peace, and pure tranquility. While the greener version of the stone is often found in the mines of India, Brazil, and Canada, Apophyllite has also been uncovered in Greenland, Iceland, Norway, the Czech Republic, Italy, Britain, Germany, and Australia. Mirrored Apophyllite was also used for centuries in the art of gazing, where the stone was passed down for generations as a mirror for the past so that a person could reflect on the magic and the mistakes of their elders and adapt their own choices accordingly.

In homage to its image of frozen water, Apophyllite also holds a high-water content which brings about its incredibly ability to conduct electricity. Ever charged with energy, you would think that Apophyllite was all about the buzz but in fact this crystal stays soft and serene and geared towards glorious gentle healing.
