What Is Scolecite?
Scolecite is a white zeolite mineral — a hydrous calcium silicate — that typically forms slender, needle-like or radiating crystal sprays inside cavities in volcanic basalt. Much of the scolecite on the market comes from India. It is a relatively soft, delicate stone (about 5 to 5.5 on the Mohs scale), usually white to colorless with a silky luster, and in the crystal community it is prized as a high-vibration stone for meditation and dream work.

How to Use Scolecite
Many people work with scolecite by holding a piece during meditation, resting it on the third eye, or keeping it on a nightstand to support restful sleep and vivid dreams. Because it is soft and fragile, handle it gently, keep it dry, and store it away from harder stones that could scratch or chip it. Many crystal users also like to cleanse it after use, for example with sage or sound, since it is traditionally believed to absorb heavy energy.
