Description

Thulite is a member of the zeolite family, calcium aluminium silicate mineral with a hardness of 6.5 to 7. Its crystal system is orthorhombic. The color of Thulite is pale to deep reddish pink, similar to that of Rhodonite, with which it is related to the concentration of manganese within the specimen. Thulite was first found in Norway, near a place called Thule, and has since been discovered in Australia and South Africa.
