Scolecite Crystal Quartz on Pink Stilbite Specimen - 3.75-4.75 inch

The Scolecite on Stilbite Specimen is a natural crystal piece in which delicate white Scolecite sprays rise from a bed of peach-pink Stilbite. The Scolecite forms fine, radiating needle-like crystals that fan outward, catching the light against the warmer, blockier Stilbite beneath. This is an untouched display specimen, shown in its natural grown form rather than shaped or polished.

Scolecite and Stilbite are both traditionally associated with calm, stillness and restful sleep, and are commonly chosen for bedrooms, meditation spaces and quiet corners. People keep a specimen like this on a shelf or bedside as a settling presence, or near a meditation seat. As a natural cluster it is equally a collector's piece, prized for the contrast between the fine white sprays and the soft pink matrix.

Because this is a natural specimen, the arrangement of the Scolecite sprays, the colour of the Stilbite and the overall form differ entirely from one piece to the next, so the specimen you receive will be one of a kind.

Geological Information
Scolecite and Stilbite are both zeolite minerals that form together in the cavities of basaltic rock, here in the Deccan Trap basalts of India's Pune district, the primary commercial source for both. Scolecite is a calcium aluminium silicate, crystallising in the monoclinic system at a Mohs hardness of 5 to 5.5, that forms delicate thin prismatic crystals in radiating sprays and fans; its name comes from the Greek skolex, meaning worm, a reference to its tendency to curl when heated. Stilbite is a sodium calcium aluminium silicate, also monoclinic, at a softer Mohs 3.5 to 4, that forms its characteristic bow-tie or sheaf-shaped aggregates, here in peach to pink. The two are commonly found together on matrix, often with apophyllite, producing exceptional display specimens. Both are sourced primarily from the Indian Deccan Trap.

AuturaSol Standard
Each natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity. Natural variations in colour, structure, inclusions, and surface features are inherent to geological materials and contribute to the individuality of each piece. Any known treatments, enhancements, stabilization, or man-made characteristics are clearly disclosed within the product information where applicable. Every piece is inspected and photographed to reflect its true character; however, lighting conditions, screen settings, and natural variation may cause slight differences in appearance. If you have any questions about a piece before completing your purchase, we're always here to help. Where authenticity meets beauty, we tell you exactly what you're holding.

Care Note
Both Scolecite and Stilbite are fragile: the fine crystal sprays and bow-tie clusters break easily, and the material is soft. Handle the specimen by its base rather than the crystals, keep it where it will not be knocked, and dust gently with a soft brush rather than wiping.
