Calcite with Sitlbite

$2,150.00

Calcite with Stilbite is a beautiful and popular mineral combination, often found in the zeolite-rich regions of India, particularly the Deccan Traps. These minerals create stunning, visually striking specimens prized by collectors and also have spiritual significance in metaphysical practices.

India’s Deccan Traps, a massive volcanic plateau, is one of the most significant sources of zeolite minerals like Stilbite and Calcite. This region, especially around Maharashtra (Pune, Nashik, Jalgaon), produces world-class mineral specimens that are highly sought after by collectors globally.

Both Calcite and Stilbite often form together in geodes or cavities within basaltic rocks. The combination occurs when hydrothermal fluids rich in minerals seep into these cavities, leading to the deposition of Calcite and Stilbite over time.

The combination of Calcite’s large, often transparent or honey-colored crystals with Stilbite’s soft, fan-shaped clusters creates visually stunning mineral specimens. The contrast in texture and crystal habits adds to the beauty, making these pieces favorites in the mineral collecting community.

Some specimens showcase Calcite crystals perched on or growing alongside delicate Stilbite sprays, creating intricate and dramatic formations. Indian Calcite-Stilbite combinations are considered some of the finest in the world due to the size, clarity, and unique color contrasts of the minerals
