Stilbite is a hydrated calcium sodium aluminum silicate, part of the zeolite group. It forms fan-shaped, sheaf-like, or radiating crystal aggregates. Stilbite commonly occurs in the cavities of basaltic rocks, where it crystallizes from low-temperature hydrothermal fluids. Its color ranges from white and peach to pink or orange. It is often found with minerals like apophyllite, heulandite, and scolecite. Major sources include India, Iceland, the USA, and Italy. This page explores stilbite’s properties, origin, and significance in mineral collections.
