Apophyllite forms as a secondary mineral in basalt and other volcanic environments. It is often associated with minerals such as the zeolite group. Healing Properties: Clear apophyllite has a clear, strong energy that helps us to raise our awareness of the higher mind. It is believed to support meditation and interdimensional awareness. *Heulandite: a tectosilicate mineral that is a member of the zeolite group. Heulandite typically forms either white or peach-orange crystals, and forms in the triclinic system. It’s habit is tabular, coffin-shaped crystals, and often forms curved crystals. Zeolite minerals are low-density silicates that typically form in volcanic environments, and include a wide variety of members such as natrolite, pectolite, okenite, stilbite, prehnite, and many more. Healing Properties: Zeolite minerals are used industrially to filter water—thus, it is not so surprising that they are associated with filtering energy in one’s environment as well. Zeolites are believed to support purification and cleansing. *Stilbite: a zeolite mineral that forms solid layers, rosettes, and "wheat-sheaf" aggregates--flaring clusters which pinch in the middle, resembling bundles of wheat. HEALING: Stilbite is associated with inner peace and calm. *Though many gems and minerals have historical and cultural associations with healing properties, these items are sold for display, study, and collector interest only.
