Scolecite Crystal cluster - Height: 5 cm - Width: 9 cm- 77 g

Scolecite is a member of the zeolite group of minerals, typically forming delicate, needle-like crystal clusters with a pearly to vitreous luster. This mineral commonly appears in radiating sprays or fan-shaped aggregates and is prized by collectors for its slender, translucent crystals that can be white, colorless, or pale shades depending on impurities. Scolecite forms through low-temperature hydrothermal processes in basaltic volcanic rocks and is often found in cavities or veins. Due to its intricate crystal formations and relative rarity compared to other zeolites, it is a popular specimen for display and educational purposes. The specific cluster described at 5 cm height and 9 cm width represents a nicely sized piece, showcasing the typical crystalline habit and delicate structure that make scolecite visually appealing and valuable within mineral collections.
