MINERALOGY: Stilbite is a tectosilicate mineral of the zeolite group consisting of hydrated calcium aluminium silicate, NaCa2Al5Si13O36·14H2O.

Usually a small proportion of the calcium is replaced by sodium. Crystals are monoclinic, and are commonly twinned, giving rise to complex groups and characteristic sheaf-like aggregates. The color is usually white, sometimes red, and on the perfect cleavage (parallel to the plane of symmetry) the lustre is markedly pearly; hence the name stilbite, from Greek, "to shine". After the separation of heulandite from this species in 1818, the name desmine ("a bundle") was proposed, and this name is now employed in Germany. The hardness is 3.5 - 4 and the specific gravity 2.2. The sievelike crystal structure of the zeolite stilbite enables it to separate hydrocarbons in the process of petroleum refining.

Chabazite is a tectosilicate mineral of the zeolite group with formula: (Ca,Na2,K2,Mg)Al2Si4O12·6H2O. Recognized varieties include Chabazite-Ca, Chabazite-K, Chabazite-Na, and Chabazite-Sr depending on the prominence of the indicated cation. Chabazite crystallizes in the trigonal crystal system with typically rhombohedral shaped crystals that are pseudo-cubic. The crystals are typically twinned, and both contact twinning and penetration twinning may be observed. They may be colorless, white, orange, brown, pink, green, or yellow. The hardness ranges from 3 to 5 and the specific gravity from 2.0 to 2.2. The luster is vitreous. It was named chabasie in 1792 by Bosc d'Antic and later changed to the current spelling.

  REIKI HEALING: It is said that all Zeolites have the capacity to assist in the improvement of the environment and to ethereally absorb toxic products and odors. It is an excellent energy for Reiki (can be placed under the chair during a Reiki session), to further ones actions and to stimulate the proper response to the energies applied.

minerals rocks fossils meteorites jewellery

I am master of geology – graduated in specialization mineralogy and petrology. Also I finished course of gemmology. I am working in Glasgow in one of long tradition jeweller and run minerals trade business. Since almost 10 years I am selling minerals, fossils and jewellery (which made sometimes myself) and other goods. I used to sell on the biggest mineral’s markets / shows in Poland and also on internet auctions (Allegro.pl, eBay.pl, eBay.uk). With my knowledge and experience with geology you can be sure you will get great specimens to your collection – often rare and hard to get.                   Also I am honest and trustworthy person and always opened for all suggestions.
