Wonderful Radiating Scolecite with Pink Stilbite and Apophyllite Crystals on matrix - Height: 114 mm - Width: 92 mm- 292 g

From our selection of collectible minerals, we propose a splendid group of radiated Scolecite crystals with Stilbite and Apophyllite from the Jalgaon District, Maharashtra, India.

Moreover, it is characterized by a spectacular radiating array of acicular white Scolecite crystals opening in a fan on a base of pink Stilbite with a globular habit, enriched by a bright pale green Apophyllite crystal—aesthetic and rare combination that enhances its visual appeal and mineralogical significance.
The specimen stands out for the quality of crystallization and the overall aesthetic balance, with features that enhance its natural structure and visual impact.

Scolecite is a fibrous zeolite whose name derives from the Greek 'skolex' (worm), due to its tendency to curl when heated with a torch. The basaltic flows of the Deccan Traps, in the Jalgaon district, are among the world's most famous localities for the variety and quality of zeolites found in volcanic cavities. The pinkish tone of the associated Stilbite is due to traces of iron oxides, while Apophyllite, a potassium- and fluorine-rich phyllosilicate, often crystallizes in the same geodes as a final phase of hydrothermal crystallization.

This is an ideal specimen for mineral collections, display, and for those who appreciate the natural beauty of minerals, even in the realm of crystal therapy and lithotherapy, according to the properties traditionally associated with the mineral species.

All minerals are 100% natural and untreated, with extremely rare exceptions always noted in the description. Photographs are taken with professional lighting to best showcase colors and details; however, slight variations in shade may occur depending on the device or ambient light.
