Zeolite including Apophyllite

Gorgeous pale peach Stilbite Cluster with apophyllite is a great example of this crystal. It is soft like all zeolites but in very good condition. Crystals do keep growing so what will it look like in 5, 10 or 15 years? The fanning shape of the peach stilbite is so lovely.

It will be great to meditate with and sit beside. It will be interesting to see if it goes to a healing user or a geological collector.

This crystal aid you to easily slip into a relaxed state of mind prior to sleep so good to try if you suffer insomnia. I love the idea that it may stimulate quite profound dreams. Also believed to aid in remembering those experiences. You can read more about the shape.

Here is a video of the two.

I look forward to seeing who buys this stilbite cluster with apophyllite. And is it for themselves, a gift or for relaxing the group at work?

• 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.
