It can also occur in igneous rock like carbonatites or inside altered basalt cavities.\u003cbr\u003eFormation process- Mineral-rich,low temperature hydrothermal groundwater flows through fractures or openings in host rocks.As the water cools and settles,strontianite precipitates as a gangue (associated non metallic) mineral inside open cavities veins geodes and concretions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crystal and fossils","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62663438631299,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/2524\/3040\/files\/FullSizeRender_55b8607c-dde4-4204-ab45-f1da18576215.heic?v=1789827530","url":"https:\/\/crystalandfossils.co.uk\/products\/strontianite-3","provider":"Crystal and fossils","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
