Stilbite Cluster – Large

Here we have a large, good quality peach-coloured Stilbite Cluster created from small clusters that show this mineral’s lovely fanning habit. And then on top is a yellow cluster of this crystal! And all of these have grown on top of a cluster of what seems to be okenite which you can see pocking through a gap.

I would love to meet someone who buys nothing but zeolites, as the variety is so beautiful. I love zeolites which are surprisingly under-rated by adults. And this one will look fabulous in a crystal collection – the large sizes actually do sell quickly!

The crystals aid you to easily slip into a relaxed state of mind and may stimulate quite profound dreams. Also believed to aid in remembering those experiences. Also said to release toxins from the body, which include alcohol and drugs. Zeolites can provide physical, emotional, and mental support during addiction withdrawals as well. Read more about the shape.

I look forward to seeing who makes a connection to this stilbite cluster.

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.
