Geology & Formation:
Heulandite forms in vesicular cavities of volcanic rocks, particularly basalt flows, where it develops as a secondary mineral through low-grade metamorphism. In the UK, and especially Scotland, occurrences of Heulandite are uncommon and typically associated with historical quarries or remote igneous sites. It crystallises from hydrothermal fluids rich in aluminium and silica, depositing in open pockets over time to form distinct, often fan-shaped, aggregates.
