Scolecite

Product: Scolecite on stilbite (India)

Short description (for the product):
A natural specimen of scolecite grown on stilbite from India. The fragile, fine structure is typical of zeolite minerals, whose light crystals create elegant fan-shaped formations. Suitable for collectors and decoration.

Composition:

Scolecite – hydrated calcium aluminosilicate (CaAl₂Si₃O₁₀·3H₂O)

Stilbite – hydrated sodium-calcium aluminosilicate (NaCa₄(Si₂₇Al₉)O₇₂·28H₂O)

Location: Maharashtra, India

Both scolecite and stilbite belong to the zeolite group. They form in cavities of igneous rocks at low temperatures. Scolecite often forms needle-like clusters, while stilbite forms typical “fan” to saddle-shaped aggregates.

Scolecite grown on stilbite is a classic zeolite combination from Indian deposits. Scolecite is characterized by fine, fibrous crystals of white to milky translucent color, while stilbite forms arcuate crystal plates with a smooth, pearly luster. Both minerals together create very aesthetic, light-looking patterns ideal for collector's displays or as natural decorations.
