Apophyllite is a window to the higher floors of yourself: glassy, often pyramid-tipped crystals, frequently from India, that clear the mind and open a calm, bright channel to guidance. History & lore. Apophyllite is treasured as a stone of the angels and of Reiki, said to carry a bright, calming light that releases mental blocks and held-in emotion. Its naturally clear tips are used for scrying and for sensing energy, while the stone as a whole brings a peaceful, present stillness.

Meditate holding it and feel the mental fog lift; gaze into a clear tip to scry and read energy; set it on the desk or altar to clear a heavy atmosphere and raise the whole room; place it where you want a clean, luminous calm to settle in. Pairs well with: Clear Quartz (amplify), Amethyst (spiritual calm), Celestite (angelic), Desert Rose (clearing). Care & cleansing. Fairly soft and brittle, so handle gently and protect the tips from knocks. Cleanse briefly under cool running water or with smoke, and recharge in moonlight. (Note: this stone is newer to the classic texts, so its lore draws on contemporary crystal sources.) At a glance. Natural crystal from India; each tip is a unique shape and size.
