yannie, I agree with the soft and soothing. It really is a very gentle stone. I sort of categorize scolecite as the middle sister of the zeolites. Mesolite is the little sister and the softest and gentlest of all, and natrolite is the older, more in your face sister but still gentle - just more oomph. I love, love little mesolite snowballs, I'd love to have a baby mesolite snowball, a medium size scolecite and a large natrolite spray to line up in a row. That would be so cute. LOL
