Crystals & Minerals

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. 

Apophyllite often forms as prismatic crystals with a square or rectangular cross-section.  It frequently occurs in distinctive pyramid-like structures, and its crystals can be large and well-formed.  It is found in various locations around the world with notable occurrences in India, Brazil, Mexico, Germany, and the United States.

Apophyllite is believed to have a calming effect, and to effectively reduce stress, releasing mental blockages and negative thought patterns. Apophyllite is also said to release suppressed emotion, to overcome anxiety, worries and fears. It calms apprehensions and allows uncertainty to be tolerated.

This is a very desirable crystal, it's clear and very showy on both sides of the matrix. Mined by hand, Himalayan Quartz Crystals are found at altitudes of 10,000 to 15,000 feet, high up in the Himalayan Mountains in an area near the border of Tibet and Nepal. These deposits might be the oldest deposits known in the world. The locals believe that these crystals are the “Eyes of God “ and that they hold the knowledge and wisdom of all past yogis and saints of the Buddhist and Hindu traditions. These crystals are carried on their backs by sherpas for great distances over and down the mountain trails to reach civilization.

Due to these facts, very few crystals ever reach the marketplace so they are much sought after by collectors.

Himalayan Quartz Crystals are a stone of power, amplifying energy and intention; they raise one’s consciousness towards enlightenment. The crystals help to shield one from negativity and aid in accessing past and future lives and realities.
