ITEM# MINERAL-Gyrolite-0002
Amazing and very large zeolite consisting of a basalt vesicle with large green gryolite clusters and calcite in a white quartz crystal matrix from Bombay, India.
Gryolite, a hydrated calcium silicate, has long been of interest to mineralogists and chemists,
particularly those concerned with the chemistry of cements, who have attempted to clarify its crystal chemistry and its relationships with reyerite and truscottite. Gyrolite clusters can be brown, colorless, white, or green.
Metaphysical properties: Gyrolite is a mineral that has particularly positive effects on the metaphysical properties of other minerals by activating them and cleansing them. It is used to connect the physical body with the auric bodies. Gyrolite is good for meditation and is said to bring the wisdom of ancient civilizations, insight, willpower, and stability. It is also said to assist with self-confidence, as well as overcome excessive introversion and addictive behaviors. Mystical and Healing Lore purports that gyrolite helps align the spine, assimilation of calcium, cellular maintenance, bone structure, acupuncture, and emotional healing.
Quartz is the second-most-abundant mineral in the Earth's continental crust, after feldspar. It is made up of a continuous framework of SiO4 silicon-oxygen tetrahedra, with each oxygen being shared between two tetrahedra, giving an overall formula Si02. There are many different varieties of quartz, several of which are semi-precious gemstones. Throughout the world, varieties of quartz have been since antiquity the most commonly used minerals in the making of jewelry and stone carvings.
This magnificent zeolite specimen measures approximately 6 inches long by 4 1/4 inches wide by 2 3/4 inches high, with the large gyrolite cluster measuring approximately 2 inches across.
