This Green Apophyllite Cluster has great luminosity & lustre and such a coherent form. The surface of the calcite matrix, upon which this cubic Green Apophyllite is sited glitters & sparkles with a pale bluish grey & peach veined hues! (see a view of the back of the 'shell' below right.)  The "pseudo-cubic" form is very translucent on top & reaches a deeper & deeper green coloration toward the base. The surface of the 'oyster shell' glitters as though decorated by the hand of Aphrodite herself inviting Beauty into your life!Apophyllite is composed of hydrated potassium calcium silicate, and forms tabular crystals of cubic or octahedral structure. The highest quality apophyllite, like this beautiful specimen, will exhibit a translucent pearly sheen on the shaft of the crystal formation and transparent, vitreous prism faces. The name apophyllite refers to a specific group of phylosilicate minerals, a class of minerals that also includes the micas. According to Melody, "Apophyllite is found in pseudo-cubic crystals, granular masses, natural pyramidal structures and as druse upon another mineral. The select grades of apophyllite have been found to occur in Pune, India, primarily in green, white and clear/colourless forms." Apophyllite is an aid to meditation and helps make a conscious connection with the spiritual world. This stone stimulates the third-eye, but primarily acts on the crown chakra facilitating "tuning in" in accordance with ones consciousness and intention. Apophyllite is a wonderful gazing stone that facilitates clairvoyance or spiritual "seeing. Apophyllite can also be used to activate and open the heart chakra, energize the sluggish or closed heart and stimulate feelings of joy and celebration of life. And because this pretty little specimen with its green coloring makes it an ideal stone for working with the energies of the heart chakra and issues about Love.  Because of Apophyllite's power to create a conscious connection between the physical and spiritual realms, Melody says, “Apophyllite facilitates attunement to one's body as well as to the higher dimensional life forms. It has been used to facilitate astral travel.”It can help one recognise the truth in all situations, encouraging accurate analysis. The stone is most profitably used in self-analysis where it encourages truthfulness in examining our own deficiencies. Calcite is the crystalline form of calcium carbonate, and appears most commonly as translucent, white to clear or bluish rhombohedral and tall pyramidal crystals but ranges in color from pinks to greens & yellows as well. It can appear to have a pearly luster as some of the relfective pieces do in this gorgeous piece. The presence of iron is what gives this piece is bluish cast. According to Melody, in her encyclopedic book, Love is in the Earth, Calcite is used in "multi-directional energy distribution.." and that it is a "world teacher". I have always been attracted to the many varieties of calcite because it feels so grounding, and centering assisting me in finding my own innate sense of balance. The combination of Calcite with Apophyllite can assist in facilitating a harmonious & grounded connection to Source. It can assist in developing one's potential for manifesting dreams & desires which are for the highest good. This gorgeous Green Apophyllite Cluster can be used as an altarpiece. With the stone on your altar, simply attune your mind to the Apophyllite & Calcite and make it your intention to align your own energies with the energies of the stones. The Apophyllite transmits energy and the Calcite grounds energies, so this piece will work to attune its environment ever more closely to the higher vibrational frequencies of the spiritual world, benefiting anyone in the immediate area, especially anyone doing meditation or energy healing. And it will do so in a fashion where one will feel connected to the Earth & to Source. You can also use this powerful crystal as a meditation tool. Hold the stone in your hand during meditation, and experience its powerful effects. Be sure to sit on a meditation cushion, and try not to drop this precious stone. As you go deeper into meditation, simply place the stone next to you on your cushion.  This gorgeous Green Apophyllite Cluster on Calcite Matrix would be good to use in a treatment room during Reiki or energy healing sessions to help focus, concentrate and direct energy. It would be most efficacious in directing energy through the stone to the crown chakra, the third eye and the heart. Apophyllite is one of the very few minerals considered powerful enough to clear negative energies out of quartz crystals, so you can also use this precious stone to help clean and clear other crystals in your collection.This crystal has been cleaned with Universal Life Force Energy, and given an energy attunement using Reiki, a Japanese technique of energy healing, so it will continue to receive and transmit Universal Life Force Energy direct from the Source of Creation. It has also cleaned and charged with the natural energy of sunlight. It is ready for you to program according to your own needs and desires.
