Scolecite Palm Stone

Here are two of the higher grade scolecite palm stone we received. This crystal is part of the family called zeolites.

In a beautiful white colour with some lines visible, these soft crystals are hand polished. This means do not leave them soaking in water! This crystal grows as lots of needles that join together. The tan is the matrix of the cave in which it grew. The “dust” covering the white needles as they then joined up to form a cluster. This adds some earthy energy to the Crown opening white energy.

This crystal always brings calm and serenity to those that hold it. It gently awakens the higher mind, helping us to gain a deeper understanding of our soul’s journey. Read the tabs for more information. They promote feelings of happiness, joy, and inner peace.

Here is the video to help you decide. I could call ed them scolecite tumbles but they are nicer shaped and. hence more a pebble. The order is A to G on the video. The tan spots are where the crystal was attached to the wall that the crystal grew from. Can you see the shimmers?

I have not found it in the form of bracelets but we do have pendants (click here). We also have natural clusters (click here) and spheres (click here).

These scolecite palm stones have been even more popular than the tumbles at the shops. The shape can also be called soap stone, cushion or pillow!

Healing Properties

• Said to:
  • bring nerves and neural paths back to equilibrium.
  • aid neurological health problems and lungs.

Geological Information

Geological Information of Zeolites

• Generic name for a group of crystals often found together on the matrix
• About 40 natural zeolites have been identified during the past 200 years. It includes the following which are commonly found growing together in Indian deposits (along with fluorite,and chalcedony):
  • Common: Apophyllite, Heulandite, Prehnite, Cavansite, Okenite, Scolecite, Calcite, Pectolite, Gyrolite and Stilbite.
  • Uncommon: analcime, chabazite, clinoptilolite, pollute, erionite, ferrierite, laumontite, mordenite, mesolite, thomsonite, natrolite, and phillipsite.
• Natural zeolites form where volcanic rocks and ash layers react with alkaline groundwater.
• Commonly used as:
  • commercial adsorbents,water purification, as catalysts,
  • in nuclear reprocessing and production of laundry detergents.
  • in medicine and in agriculture.
  • heaps more uses for zeolites: read here.
• Much of it comes from Nasik, India.
  • Many have become rare as one of the two major mines was closed by the Government.
• Most if not all zeolites a soft and easy to break or scratch.

More about Some of the Members

• Read more geological information.
• Special Notes
  • Many people mistake it for clear quartz - however this unique crystal shape will tell you its not.
  • Apophyllite has become harder to get (and this more expensive) after one major -mine (of two) was shut down by Indian Government for safety reasons.
  • Though relatively unfamiliar to the general public, apophyllite is fairly prevalent around the world but little comes onto the market.

Green Pectolite

• Usually green balls

Heulandite

• Comes in rhombic and coffin-shaped forms.
• Easy to confuse with stilbite as similar form especially in smaller clusters.
• More geological information.

Natrolite

• Mine has been closed.
• Seen only as minor inclusions on other zeolites and in Nunderite

Stilbite

• A low-temperature secondary hydrothermal mineral abundant in the volcanic rocks.
• Crystals are typically thin tabular.
• More information in Wikipedia.
• Crystal System: Monoclinic
• Mineral Class: Silicates
• Group: Zeolites
• Hardness: (3.5 - 4)
• Colour: Colorless or white, also yellow, brown, pink, salmon, orange, red, green, blue or black.

Okenite

• Small white cotton balls.
• Crystal System: Triclinic
• Mineral Class:Silicates 
• Hardness: (4-5) Color: white to slightly yellow, blue
• Easily damaged if touched.
• Mostly found in India. Read more in Wikipedia.

Mesolite

• a sodium calcium zeolite, is intermediate between natrolite, a sodium zeolite, and scolecite, a calcium zeolite:

• Specialists may be able differentiate between scolecite, nautrolite and mesolite but most of us can't.
