Informally referred to as needle stone or needle-zeolite, this designation highlights the typical acicular form of its crystals, which are often slender and arranged in divergent tufts. The crystals may also exhibit epitaxial overgrowths of natrolite, mesolite, and gonnardite in various configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crystals2Collect A.C.N 651.525.727 Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"70 45 35 72","offer_id":52130144485652,"sku":"70 45 35 72","price":110.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/2047\/9764\/files\/20260310_104136.jpg?v=1779210944","url":"https:\/\/crystals2collect.com\/products\/natrolite-little-plains-quarry-blue-tier-tasmania-2564-54","provider":"Crystals2Collect ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
