Apophyllite

This beautiful crystal forms natural pyramid shapes within its overall outer and inner structure. While it is most often clear, it also manifests in tones of soft green.  There is a sparkle, a soft shimmer which first catches the eye then the vibrational tones begin to merge with your own vibration, interconnecting on a deeper Spiritual level.

Apophyllite will aid the user during meditation to calm the mind in ways yet experienced. It is wise to begin slowly or for short periods of time, gradually building a “tolerance” for its unique vibrational frequency. As you work with this incredibly powerful crystal, you may experience lucid dreaming, psychic visions, and even increased levels of clairvoyance.

Apophyllite resonates with the Third Eye and Crown Chakras, cleansing, bringing into balance, clearing the inner pathways for an expanded sense of conscious awareness and heightened states of Spiritual expansion.

In addition to resonating with the Third Eye and Crown Chakras, Green Apophyllite also resonates with the Heart Chakra, stimulating and activating energies which correspond with Universal Love and unconditional acceptance of the inner Self and all who join you along your journey.
