Heulandite is a popular tectosilicate mineral belonging to the zeolite family, highly prized by collectors for its distinctive "coffin-shaped" crystals and pearly lustre.It typically forms as a secondary mineral inside the hollow cavities (vugs) of ancient volcanic basalt and andesite. First officially recognized and named in 1822 after the famous English mineral dealer John Henry Heuland, this stone is valued both as a unique geological specimen and as a gentle meditative stone.
