Apophyllite is a mineral known for its distinctive crystal formations, often occurring in clusters with a unique beauty. Its crystals are usually colorless or white, allowing them to be transparent or translucent. Although, some specimens may exhibit a greenish, yellowish, or pinkish tint due to the presence of impurities.
Prehnite can form prismatic, tabular, or pyramidal crystals, but usually occurs in botryoidal, reniform, stalactitic, granular, or compact habits. It is usually green in colour, but may be white, colourless, yellow, or gray. It has a colourless streak. Prehnite is transparent to translucent, with a vitreous to pearly luster. Prehnite forms in cavities in basaltic lavas.
Apophyllite is believed to promote self-reflection and authentic self-expression, helping to reduce stress, release mental blockages, and overcome anxiety by revealing truth and facilitating the release of suppressed emotions. Prehnite is considered a stone of unconditional love, known for its healing properties, especially for healers, and is thought to bring harmony to spaces, assist in decluttering, and create a healing sanctuary, particularly when used in gardens.
