Mordenite with Heulandite and Hematite Inclusions - India | 557g

This fascinating specimen from India showcases delicate mordenite crystals growing alongside heulandite, with natural hematite inclusions adding reddish-brown coloration throughout the formation. The mordenite displays its characteristic fine, hair-like or fibrous crystal structure, creating a soft textured appearance, while the heulandite adds its distinctive plate-like crystal habit to the piece. The hematite inclusions create beautiful color variations and rusty accents that contrast nicely against the paler zeolite crystals. At 557g, this specimen represents the rich mineral diversity found in India’s famous Deccan Traps region.

Stone Facts:

• Mordenite forms fine, hair-like fibrous crystals
• This mineral belongs to the zeolite group, porous aluminosilicates that form in gas cavities in volcanic basalt
• Zeolites often grow together with apophyllite and calcite, creating multi-mineral specimens
• Most zeolites sit around Mohs 3.5–4.5 and are delicate, so handle crystal points with care
