Green apophyllite is a rare variety of apophyllite, a mineral group that consists of hydrated calcium silicates. Green apophyllite is distinguished by its green color, which is caused by the presence of trace amounts of iron or chromium in its crystal structure. Green apophyllite is usually found in basaltic rocks, where it forms as a secondary mineral in cavities and fractures. Green apophyllite is highly sought after by mineral collectors and metaphysical enthusiasts for its aesthetic appeal and healing properties. Green apophyllite is said to promote spiritual growth, emotional balance, and connection with nature.
