Stilbite, Mordenite, Green Apophyllite Specimen | 1356

Stilbite, also known as Desmine, is best known for its pearly luster and radiating crystal formations.

Stilbite forms in volcanic rocks as a secondary mineral, developing when silica-rich fluids seep through cavities and cool slowly. Stilbite's creation is facilitated by low temperatures and pressures, often within basaltic environments.

Stilbite has a layered, sheet-like structure made up of interconnected silicate chains.

Stilbite is commonly found in India, Iceland, and the United States, particularly within zeolite-rich deposits.

Mordenite, also known as "Zeolite Mordenite," is best known for its exceptional ability to absorb and filter water and gases.

Mordenite is created when volcanic ash reacts with alkaline groundwater over extended periods, forming hydrated aluminosilicate minerals. It also forms in marine environments where silica and aluminum interact under specific chemical conditions.

Mordenite has a porous, fibrous structure with a high surface area, making it highly effective for filtration and ion exchange.

Mordenite is commonly found in regions with significant volcanic activity, such as Japan, the United States, and Iceland.

Green Cubic Apophyllite, also known as "Fluorapophyllite," is best known for its radiant green hue and ability to amplify spiritual and emotional clarity.

Green Cubic Apophyllite is created through the hydrothermal process, where silica-rich solutions rich in calcium, potassium, and fluorine crystallize in volcanic voids. Over time, these solutions cool and solidify, forming the unique cubic crystals.

Green Cubic Apophyllite has a tetragonal crystal structure, characterized by its transparency and vitreous luster.

Green Cubic Apophyllite is commonly found in India, particularly in the Deccan Traps, and also in other volcanic regions like Brazil and Iceland.
