A Brief Introduction

Analcime crystal close-up
Zeolite Mineral
Analcime is a sodium-rich zeolite that usually appears as sharp, blocky white crystals lining cavities in volcanic rocks. Its clean, geometric faces and soft, cloud-white colour give it a quietly ordered, minimalist look that many people associate with calm clarity and gentle energetic cleansing.

Origin & History

Where Analcime comes from and how people have worked with it over time.

Analcime forms in the cavities and vesicles of basaltic and related volcanic rocks when alkaline fluids interact with earlier minerals. Over time, dissolved components re-precipitate as neat, blocky trapezohedral crystals that can look almost architectural inside the host rock. Classic localities include Iceland, various parts of Canada and the United States, and several European volcanic regions. Analcime is part of the broader zeolite family—minerals known for their porous structures and affinity for water and ions—though most analcime on the crystal market is collected for its clean aesthetic rather than industrial use.

Zeolite Family
Zeolite Family
Analcime is a sodium-rich zeolite mineral with a framework structure that can host water and other small ions, placing it in the same broad family as stilbite and other well-known zeolites.

How It Forms
How It Forms
It develops when volcanic rocks undergo low-temperature alteration and fluids deposit new minerals in open cavities, gradually building sharp, blocky crystals along bubble walls.
