I don't remember seeing datolite here before, so I thought you might enjoy seeing some.

It was cool to see the pink come out of the one nodule.

I knew nothing about datolite before. The white looks so much like howlite. The pink/red/salmon is really pretty.

As quickly as I started looking at the prices I stopped 😅

There are so many cool colors. Check out the links on this page. I think blue might be my favorite.
Lots of datolite pictures

Thanks! I like the blue, too. They look to be one of the rarest colors.

It's not cheap. I have looked for them for hours and never found one.

Oh the blue! It rivals the blue of larimar.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

-- C.S. Lewis
