Avika Natural Apophyllite stilbite for Calmness/Reiki/Stress reliever will help one to reach the astral state when one meditates, and it will guide our flight above the world! Stilbite is a series of tectosilicate minerals from the Zeolite group. It is a hydrous calcium soldium and aluminium silicate. Stilbite is abundant in volcanic rocks and commonly found with Barite, Heulandite, Prehnite, and Apophyllite. It forms wheatsheaf-like crystals and highly collectible decorative hourglass-like structures. The main locality where Stilbite can be found is Iceland, but India is also a prolific source of this mineral. There are also Stilbite locations in the USA and in Scotland. Stilbite stimulates the heart chakra and radiates from energy of love and openness. It will help us to reach the state of no mind, which will be particularly helpful in meditation.

The stones have grains in them which are due to their crystal structure. These are natural stones so they are not completely finished some cracks and holes are there due to the variation of hardness in stones. You will get 100% similar product as per the availability in the stock.

Chemical Formula

Apophyllite-KF: KCa₄Si₈O₂₀(F,OH) · 8(H₂O)
Apophyllite-KOH: KCa₄Si₈O₂₀(OH,F) · 8(H₂O)
Apophyllite-NaF: NaCa₄Si₈O₂₀F · 8(H₂O)

Composition

Hydrous calcium potassium fluoro-hydroxyl-silicate. The ratio fluorine to hyroxyl varies among two group members, and the potassium is replaced with sodium in another member.

Variable Formula

Crystal Forms
and Aggregates

Crystals are most often in cubic-shaped crystals, with distinctive triangular corners. Commonly in perfect, pseudocubic or rectangular crystals, as well as sharply pointed prismatic pyramidal crystals that are usually doubly terminated. Also tabular, blocky, in cubic groups, in platy clusters, druzy, and instalactitic formations of crystals. An unusual habit is in blocky radiating sprays and rounded groupings resembling disco balls. Crystals are almost always striated.

(Note: Apophyllite-(KF) and Apophyllite-(KOH) both crystallize in the tetragonal crystal system, whereas Apophyllite-(NaF) crystallizes in the orthorhombic system.)
