Typical of zeolites is their ability to absorb and release water without losing their structure – a characteristic that also makes them interesting for industrial use as natural water filters. The crystals show a characteristic glassy to pearly luster and often grow together with accompanying minerals such as stilbite, making this geode a particularly versatile collector's piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChemical formula:\u003c\/strong\u003e (Ca,Na₂)Al₂Si₇O₁₈ · 6H₂O\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal system:\u003c\/strong\u003e Monoclinic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMohs hardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.5 – 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDensity:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 2.2 g\/cm³\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCleavage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perfect\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLuster:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glassy to pearly luster\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColors:\u003c\/strong\u003e White, pink, orange, red, green, yellow, brown – partly transparent to translucent\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maharashtra, Nashik and Pune, India\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e L: 10 cm | W: 7 cm | H: 5 cm | Weight: 414 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOrigin and Discovery Sites – Maharashtra as a Mineralogical World Center\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Deccan Traps in the Indian state of Maharashtra are considered one of the most prolific zeolite regions worldwide.

A dry or slightly damp, soft cloth is sufficient for cleaning. We advise against soaking it in water, as the mineral's perfect cleavage brings a certain sensitivity with it.
