Red Stilbite. Mineral Collection - Height: 14 cm - Width: 9 cm- 520 g - (1)

Stilbite is a widely recognized member of the zeolite group, most famous for its unique crystal habits and soft, pearly luster. It typically forms in "bow-tie" aggregates or radiating bladed clusters, where the crystals taper toward the base and flare out at the tips. While it is often found in shades of creamy white, it can also exhibit beautiful tones of peach, salmon, or even deep orange depending on trace mineral inclusions. Its name, derived from the Greek word for "luster," perfectly describes the satiny sheen found on its cleavage planes. These crystals often serve as a beautiful, organic-looking matrix or companion for sharper minerals like apophyllite, making them a staple in many mineral collections.
