This is a fine Zeolite specimen from the ZEC near Maniwaki, Québec, Canada. You can see a small group of well terminated crystals with nice sharp edges.

Stilbite, Heulandite, and Chabazite are beautiful zeolite minerals found in the basalt and sedimentary rock formations near Maniwaki, Quebec. These crystals often form in delicate, radiating clusters or blocky, tabular structures, showcasing a range of colors from soft pinks and oranges to translucent whites.

Stilbite is known for its pearly luster and graceful fan-like formations, while Heulandite displays intricate, layered crystal habits. Chabazite, with its distinctive rhombohedral shape, adds variety to the mineral assemblage. Collectors and geologists appreciate these minerals not only for their aesthetic appeal but also for their fascinating crystal chemistry and association with the region’s volcanic history.

Heulandite is one of the most common and well known members of the Zeolite Group. It has a nice pearly luster and lovely colored hues. It forms wonderfully complex and quite unique crystals and is often associated with other rare and beautiful minerals. 

Mordenite was first described in 1864 by Henry How. He named it after the small community of Morden, Nova Scotia, Canada, along the Bay of Fundy, where it was first found.  It is one of the most abundant zeolites and is found in volcanic rock such as rhyolite, andesite, and basalt. It is associated with other zeolites such as stilbite and heulandite.
