There are sweet A+ grade crystal pyramids as a druzy all over this Apophyllite Cluster. Here is the video.

Gosh Mother Nature is inventive. There is a tiny bit of inclusions which the camera has made seem worse than the eye sees. There is no matrix at all. This will appeal to light workers and geological collectors alike. I’ve heard lovely reports of out of body journeys with these high quality pieces!

The clear crystals facilitate taking you into a deeper state of relaxation and receptiveness. Said to have in the treatment of asthma and any health conditions involving the lungs so can help relieve symptoms of allergies. Read more on the Healing tab.

Geological Information

Geological Information of Zeolites

Generic name for a group of crystals often found together on the matrix
About 40 natural zeolites have been identified during the past 200 years. It includes the following which are commonly found growing together in Indian deposits (along with fluorite,and chalcedony):
- Common: Apophyllite, Heulandite, Prehnite, Cavansite, Okenite, Scolecite, Calcite, Pectolite, Gyrolite and Stilbite.
- Uncommon: analcime, chabazite, clinoptilolite, pollute, erionite, ferrierite, laumontite, mordenite, mesolite, thomsonite, natrolite, and phillipsite.
Natural zeolites form where volcanic rocks and ash layers react with alkaline groundwater.
Commonly used as:
- commercial adsorbents,water purification, as catalysts,
- in nuclear reprocessing and production of laundry detergents.
- in medicine and in agriculture.
- heaps more uses for zeolites: read here.
Much of it comes from Nasik, India.
- Many have become rare as one of the two major mines was closed by the Government.
Most if not all zeolites a soft and easy to break or scratch.

More about Some of the Members

Usually green balls

Heulandite

Comes in rhombic and coffin-shaped forms.
More geological information.

Natrolite

Okenite

Small white cotton balls.

Hardness: (4-5) Color: white to slightly yellow, blue
Easily damaged if touched.
Mostly found in India. Read more in Wikipedia.

Mesolite

a sodium calcium zeolite, is intermediate between natrolite, a sodium zeolite, and scolecite, a calcium zeolite:

Specialists may be able differentiate between scolecite, nautrolite and mesolite but most of us can't.

Special Notes

Many people mistake it for clear quartz - however this unique crystal shape will tell you its not.
Apophyllite has become harder to get (and this more expensive) after one major -mine (of two) was shut down by Indian Government for safety reasons.
Though relatively unfamiliar to the general public, apophyllite is fairly prevalent around the world but little comes onto the market.

Stilbite:

A low-temperature secondary hydrothermal mineral abundant in the volcanic rocks.
Crystals are typically thin tabular.
More information in Wikipedia.
Crystal System: Monoclinic
Mineral Class: Silicates
Group: Zeolites
Hardness: (3.5 - 4)
Colour: Colorless or white, also yellow, brown, pink, salmon, orange, red, green, blue or black.
