Apophyllite, a silicate mineral, is prized for its clarity, luster, and metaphysical properties. The yellow variety of apophyllite is less common and is often sought after for its unique color, which can range from pale to golden yellow, typically due to the presence of iron or other metallic impurities. These crystals are known to have a pearly luster on their perfect cleavage, though they exhibit a vitreous luster overall. With a hardness rating on Moh’s scale of 4.5 to 5, apophyllite is somewhat brittle, making it a delicate mineral to handle.
In metaphysical circles, yellow apophyllite is associated with the solar plexus chakra and is believed to enhance decision-making skills and personal power. It's said to be beneficial for patience, calmness, and physical healing, aligning the mind, soul, and body. Apophyllite crystals are also thought to have the ability to conduct electricity due to their water content, adding another layer to their perceived healing properties.
