The crystals are clear to white, and the specimen is cut flat at the base so it stands on its own, shown in its natural grown form as a display piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApophyllite is traditionally associated with intuition, spiritual awareness and clear-minded calm, and is often kept in meditation and reflection spaces. A free-standing cluster like this is chosen as a centrepiece for a shelf, desk or altar, valued for the brightness and geometry of the crystals as much as for its associations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause this is a natural specimen, the size, density and clarity of the crystals differ entirely from one piece to the next, so the specimen you receive will be one of a kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrimary Focus: Intuition \u0026amp; Spiritual Awareness\u003cbr\u003eSecondary Focus: Calm \u0026amp; Stress Relief\u003cbr\u003eChakra Association: Crown, Third Eye\u003cbr\u003eZodiac Sign: Gemini, Libra\u003cbr\u003eChinese Zodiac: Rabbit, Goat\u003cbr\u003eRuling Planet: Moon\u003cbr\u003eElements: Air\u003cbr\u003eMohs Hardness: 4.5-5\u003cbr\u003eStone Family: Phyllosilicate\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Natural Apophyllite\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: India\u003cbr\u003eForm: Specimen\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Size: 79-170 mm (3.1-6.6 inches)\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Weight: 270-1336 g\u003cbr\u003eListing: Single unit, size selected at checkout\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeological Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eApophyllite is a phyllosilicate mineral, a potassium calcium fluoride silicate crystallising in the tetragonal system at a Mohs hardness of 4.5 to 5. It forms distinctive square prismatic crystals with a highly reflective vitreous to pearly lustre, ranging from colourless to white and sometimes pale green, and is frequently found on matrix with stilbite, calcite and other zeolite minerals. Its name means \"to leaf apart\" in Greek, referencing its tendency to exfoliate when heated. The primary commercial source is India's Pune region, where this material originates, with further deposits in Iceland, Germany and Brazil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuturaSol Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity. Natural variations in colour, structure, inclusions, and surface features are inherent to geological materials and contribute to the individuality of each piece. Any known treatments, enhancements, stabilization, or man-made characteristics are clearly disclosed within the product information where applicable. Every piece is inspected and photographed to reflect its true character; however, lighting conditions, screen settings, and natural variation may cause slight differences in appearance.

Handle the specimen by its base rather than the crystals, keep it where it will not be knocked, and dust gently with a soft brush rather than wiping.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AuturaSol","offers":[{"title":"79 mm - 338 g","offer_id":47465573122278,"sku":"30122004-OFF-A2-338G","price":37.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"84 mm - 270 g","offer_id":47465573155046,"sku":"30122004-OFF-A2-270G","price":33.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"109 mm - 767 g","offer_id":47465573187814,"sku":"30122004-OFF-A2-767G","price":58.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"99 mm - 1290 g","offer_id":47465573220582,"sku":"30122004-OFF-A2-1290G","price":88.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"170 mm - 1336 g","offer_id":47465573253350,"sku":"30122004-OFF-A2-1336G","price":116.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/7200\/5350\/files\/Untitleddesign-2026-07-01T223158.405.jpg?v=1782925475","url":"https:\/\/auturasol.com\/products\/close-out-specimen-apophyllite-free-standing-3-10","provider":"AuturaSol","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
