Welcome Spring!! We are so excited for all that is blooming! That includes all of you! Spring is a time of renewal and refreshing growth after the quiet reflections of winter. Now is when all warms up and flourishes within and around us. Things that had to wait, projects that got forgotten, new chores that are found needed to be done, and life all becomes a whirlwind of hustle and bustle. Remember to "Keep Calm and Rock On!" You are an important part of someone's day and even if you feel alone, you are not! Keep shining bright like apophyllite!

Mineral Highlight: Apophyllite

Science: refers to a specific group of phyllosilicates, a class of minerals

AB4[Si8O20]X · 8H2O

A = K, Na, NH4, Cs
B = Ca (in apophyllite rootname members), Sr (in mcglassonite rootname member)
X = F, OH

This mineral is found all over the world and in several states across our country. Wisconsin find was from Amnicon Falls, Douglas County, WI, Buckley Quarry. 

Apophyllite is a stunning, translucent mineral that belongs to the phyllosilicate class and is prized for its unique crystal structure and captivating light-reflective properties. Having a higher refractive index then diamond! Apophyllite forms as a secondary mineral in volcanic environments, specifically within cavities and vesicles of cooling basaltic lava. It is created when hot, silica-rich hydro-thermal fluids, containing potassium, calcium, and fluorine, interact with the rock, allowing crystals to precipitate in empty spaces. It is often found with zeolites like stilbite or mordenite.

 

Spirit: Apophyllite is tranquil and encourages honesty to self and others. It is excellent in stressful situations, and for clearing negative thought patterns. It creates a conscious connection between the physical and the spiritual, and it acts as an excellent transmitter for vibrational energy, and so enhances healing work. Works well as the telephone call to your love team!

Zodiac: Gemini and Libra

Chakra Alignment: Crown

Element: None

Origin of Name & Mythology: From the Greek for "away from" (ἀπό, apo) and "leaf" (φύλλον, phyllos), in allusion to the way it exfoliates upon heating or flakes with loosing it's water content.
