Definition of apophyllite in English: apophyllitenoun əˈpɒfɪlʌɪtəˈpäfəˌlīt mass nounA mineral occurring typically as white glassy prisms, usually as a secondary mineral in volcanic rocks. It is a hydrated silicate and fluoride of calcium and potassium. Example sentencesExamples - On one trip he opened a huge pocket of large analcime, natrolite, and apophyllite crystals at the Big Rock quarry and shared them with everyone.
- The name comes from the Greek words apo (from) and fyllo (leaf) because apophyllite exfoliates (spreads or extends as if opening out leaves) when burned.
- A few specimens of apophyllite were found during the sinking of the Palmer shaft which show rosette-shaped groups and platy single crystals, some of which are half an inch across.
- Apophyllite, whose name roughly means "to leaf apart" in Greek, is a mineral classic.
- The nonzeolites apophyllite, calcite, and quartz commonly occur at many localities.
- This calcite typically overgrows quartz and crystallizes before heulandite, stilbite, and apophyllite.
- How about apatite, apophyllite, axinite, chlorite, hypersthene, scapolite, serpentine, tantalite, and wolframite?
- Most of the cavities are filled or lined with crystalline formations of various zeolites, such as stilbite, scolecite, and heulandite, plus calcite and apophyllite; these minerals typically occur in combination with each other.
- Although very beautiful, most Indian apophyllite is colorless.
- Apophyllite is seldom seen except in comprehensive collections.
- Good specimens of sperrylite with apophyllite, prehnite, thaumasite, and calcite are reported.
- Here, spectacularly large groups of scolecite, heulandite, apophyllite, and associated minerals occurred in cavities in flood basalt.
- Apophyllite forms from low temperature hydrothermal fluids.
- True, but names such as apatite, apophyllite, chlorite, serpentine, and tantalite are very common names that appear frequently in the world of a beginning collector, so their absence from references can only lead to frustration.
Origin Early 19th century: from apo- + Greek phullon 'leaf' + -ite1.
