HISTORY AND TRADITION
The mineral was first discovered in 1813 by German scientists I.N. von Fuchs and A.F. Gehlen while studying samples of volcanic rocks mined in Germany.
Scolecite is a mineral of the silicate class, also known as needle stone or ellagite. The name scolecite comes from the Greek “skolex” – “worm”. The stone was so named for its ability to writhe in fire like a worm.
Scolecite forms in basalts and igneous cavities of volcanic origin. Sometimes the mineral can be found in limestones. It usually forms as radial or complex radiating aggregates, acicular crystals, or silky fibers. Associated minerals of scolecite are calcites, prehnites, and zeolites.
DEFINITION OF AUTHENTICITY
They often try to pass off plastic or glass as scolecite. However, it is quite easy to distinguish a counterfeit — using fire or ultraviolet radiation. How the stone behaves in a flame was mentioned at the beginning of the article, but under ultraviolet rays the mineral emits a slightly yellowish glow.In addition to the flame, the mineral can be identified using chemical analysis.
Scolecite is very similar in appearance to natrolite. To distinguish them, the minerals are tested by exposure to fire – in scolecite, worm-like bending of the fibers appears in the flame.
