Formed within ancient basalt flows created by massive flood-basalt eruptions during the Late Cretaceous period, this specimen represents a classic example of secondary mineralization in vesicular basalt.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeulandite is a member of the zeolite group, crystallizing from low-temperature hydrothermal fluids that percolated through gas cavities left behind as lava cooled. Over time, silica-rich fluids deposited layer upon layer of crystal growth, producing the distinctive wedge-shaped crystal habits and glassy luster that make Heulandite immediately recognizable to collectors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe green coloration seen in this specimen—highly sought after among zeolite collectors—is typically attributed to trace element substitution and growth conditions unique to certain pockets within the Deccan basalt sequence.
