SCOLECITE SPECIMENS
Scolecite is a member of the zeolite group of minerals containing mainly aluminum and silicon compounds. They exhibit a slender crystal habit and are very brittle in nature. Scolecite is a transparent, translucent crystal and typically colorless, but also shows up in light pinks and yellows.
Scolecite often forms in aggregate clusters. Their appearance is often confused with their close zeolite relative natrolite. They commonly form columnar clusters (sprays) in association with other minerals such as heulandite, apophyllite, stilbite, epidote, and calcite. Like other zeolites, scolecite forms within proximity to igneous rock.
