 Rare and Stunning Scolecite Crystal

Approximate dimensions:

2.5" x 1.6" x 0.8" inches

Weight: 34 grams


Scolecite is a rare and highly sought-after mineral that belongs to the Zeolite family. This delicate crystal is typically colorless or white in appearance, and it is known for its beautiful and intricate crystal formations. Scolecite is a hydrous calcium aluminum silicate mineral, which means that it is composed of calcium, aluminum, silicon, and water molecules.

The crystal structure of scolecite is unique in that it consists of interconnected channels and cavities that are ideal for trapping and storing various gases and liquids. This makes scolecite an excellent material for use in industrial and scientific applications such as gas adsorption, catalysis, and molecular sieving. In addition to its adsorption properties, scolecite is also a good electrical insulator, making it useful in the electronics industry.

Scolecite is a relatively soft mineral with a Mohs hardness of 5 to 5.5, which makes it easy to work with for lapidary purposes. It is often cut and polished into beautiful cabochons, beads, and other jewelry items.

One of the most fascinating aspects of scolecite is its piezoelectric properties. When pressure is applied to the crystal, it generates a small electrical charge, which can be useful in various scientific and technological applications. For example, scolecite is used in piezoelectric sensors and transducers for measuring pressure and acceleration.

Overall, scolecite is a versatile and unique mineral that has a range of practical applications in industries such as electronics, gas storage, and catalysis. Its intricate crystal formations and piezoelectric properties also make it a favorite among collectors and enthusiasts of natural history and mineralogy.
