HISTORICAL OVERVIEW
Apophyllite belongs to the zeolite family and was first described in the early 19th century. Its name comes from the Greek apo (“off”) and phyllon (“leaf”), referencing its tendency to flake upon heating. Clear Apophyllite has long been admired for its glass‑like brilliance and spiritual clarity, while Green Apophyllite is rarer and associated with heart‑centered healing. Collectors and healers prize both varieties for their high vibrational energy, connection to angelic realms, and ability to inspire truth and renewal.
