Ideal for display and collection
Stilbite and Heulandite are zeolite-group minerals that commonly occur together in cavities and fractures of volcanic rocks. Stilbite commonly forms radiating, fan-shaped, fibrous, or elongated aggregates, while Heulandite typically develops as tabular or bladed crystals. Both minerals form from mineral-rich hydrothermal fluids circulating through cavities and fractures in volcanic rocks over geological time.
Please Note: Natural mineral specimens may naturally contain variations in color, crystal formation, transparency, texture, inclusions, fractures, cavities, chips, luster, and matrix. Each specimen is naturally formed and may differ slightly from the photographed piece.
