In the realm of crystals, there are so many varieties that one might never stop exploring and learning. For example, amethyst, rose quartz, and smoky quartz are well-known visually and energetically. On the other end of the spectrum, there are crystals that are not as common in the marketplace, and we therefore are not as aware of them. Isn't it exciting when we make a new crystal discovery?!
Allow me to introduce you to one of my favorite, lesser known crystals: apophyllite.
Apophyllites are most commonly clear or green, often appearing as cubes or pyramids. These crystals are incredible at increasing the vibration, attuning it to those of higher realities. As we become aware of energies, we start to understand that there is more out there than we can perceive. We often refer to this as trying to see past the veil. From The Book of Stones by Robert Simmons and Naisha Ahsian: "Once the veil has been lifted, one sees all the world, inner and outer, as alive and filled with intelligent awareness. Apophyllites are one of the most powerful mineral tools for lifting that veil."
Apophyllites are great tools for meditation, helping to calm the ego and its distracting thoughts. They help to enhance the depth of vision and clarity of vision, both intuitive and in our real lives. They bring a higher perspective to all things. Indeed, just placing an apophyllite crystal in a room will help to rid that room of distracting energies and replace it with a sense of peaceful calm.
As many of you know, I love crystals and have a strong relationship with them. From my personal experiences, I can tell you that apophyllites have an overall feeling of deep calm. When I am near these crystals, I find that my mind slows down pleasantly and I suddenly carry the belief that everything is going to be just fine. From this stems a feeling of being beautiful and an understanding that the world is beautiful as well. When I tune in, I can feel warm vibrations of energy moving from the crystal into my body.
Every time I purchase an apophyllite to sell on The Salty Blossom, it sits on my table for a few weeks. My family has to convince me to sell it! My preference would be to fill my house with these crystals.
