About Pollucite
A rare cesium-bearing zeolite mineral, typically colorless or white. It's a stone of serenity, promoting peace, aiding meditation, and facilitating interdimensional connection. (The main ore of cesium).
Primary Hues
Colorless, White, Grey, sometimes Pinkish or Bluish, often forms cubic-like crystals or massive
Geological & Scientific Details
Pollucite is classified as a tectosilicate minerals, zeolite group mineral which typically crystallizes in the isometric system. Its chemical formula is Cs(Si2Al)O6·nH2O. Common crystal habits include usually massive; rare crystals are normally trapezohedral or cubic.
