History and folklore
Stilbite is a zeolite, a group of minerals that grow inside gas pockets in volcanic rock. Its name comes from a Greek word for shining, after its pearly luster. It often forms bundles shaped like bow ties or sheaves of wheat, and it frequently grows alongside apophyllite in the basalt quarries of western India. Stilbite has no long folk history, so its correspondences are modern. Witches use it for calm, creativity, and peaceful dreams.
