Pink Heulandite Stilbite Cluster 659g

A zeolite, and a quiet one.

Heulandite grows in tabular crystals — flat, coffin-shaped plates — in peach, green, white and grey, usually alongside stilbite and apophyllite in the same Indian volcanic cavities. It's named for John Henry Heuland, a nineteenth-century mineral dealer.

Like all zeolites its structure is full of channels, which is what makes the family useful industrially for filtering and softening water.

Heulandite is worked with for perspective and for what people describe as accessing older knowledge — it has a reputation as a meditation stone rather than a carrying stone. It sits with the third eye and crown.

Sheri chooses every piece by hand, cleanses it, and charges it before it's packed here on the Gold Coast.

Delicate. Keep it somewhere it won't be knocked.

For softening rather than shifting.

Stilbite grows in peach and cream sheaves — clusters of thin blades fanning out from a centre, like a bowtie or a wheat stalk. It usually shares its matrix with apophyllite, the two growing together in the same volcanic cavities of the Deccan Traps in India.

It's a zeolite, which means its structure is full of microscopic channels — the same property that makes zeolites useful as industrial filters and water softeners.

Stilbite is worked with for gentleness and for opening the heart without force. It's the stone people describe as quiet, and it's often suggested when something more intense hasn't helped. It sits with the heart and crown.

Sheri chooses every piece by hand, cleanses it, and charges it before it's packed here on the Gold Coast.

Delicate — the blades break easily.
