[00:00:00]Three most common zeolites and how to tell them apart. Number one, stilbite.

[00:00:04]Stilbite is usually a peachy salmon color with a soft shimmer to it. It grows in these fan-like shapes, kind of like a bow tie. Number two is heulandite and it grows in the shape of a coffin.

[00:00:15]Flat, rectangular, and kind of tapered at the end. It's usually a reddish-orange color, but can sometimes be green. Heulandite and stilbite do look very similar. And number three is natrolite. It forms long white needles like a frozen firework. This one is pretty unique and impossible to confuse with the rest. If you like these, follow for more crystal facts.
