The scapolites are a group of rock-forming silicate minerals composed of aluminium, calcium, and sodium silicate with chlorine, carbonate and sulfate. Named in 1800 by José Bonifácio de Andrada e Silva from the Greek ζκαποζ meaning “a shaft” in allusion to the long prismatic habit of the crystals.
Meionite ( white scapolite )Scapolites can be seen in a wide variety of colours such as purple, yellow, white, grey, brown, reddish-brown, black, pink, orange.
Also, Scapolites can be found in Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Australia, Antarctica, Austria, Belgium, Botswana, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, China, Cuba, Czech Republic, Finland, Congo, Denmark, Germany, Iran, Italy, India, Japan, Kenya, Madagascar, Lithuania, Morocco, Mozambique, Myanmar, Namibia, New Zealand, Nepal, North Korea, Norway, Pakistan, Peru, Philippine, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Spain, Tanzania, Turkey, UK, USA, UAE.
Most of the scapolites are chatoyant and known as “scapolite cats-eye”. The two endmembers are meionite and marialite. Meionite mostly can be seen in white Colour and marialite in yellow colours. Silvialite (Ca, Na)₄Al₆Si₆O₂₄) is also a recognized member of the group.

Healing Properties of Scapolites
Scapolite is suitable for anyone to wear because of a silicate mineral. It is absorbing energies from cosmic waves and neutrino waves. It will help to balance human aura and energy fields.
Scapolites vibrational energies reduce stress and balance circulations. also, It’s chemical energies work with the human body and skin-related diseases also. if you use in a proper method
The chlorine in it helps eliminate dead cells. Its chemical healings help strengthen the bone. Scapolite also works with chakra and chakra balancing. Each colour work with each chakra.
