Laumontite is usually pink, brown, or white in appearance, though its purest form is while it's white. These minerals are usually found in basaltic rocks, which are dark black igneous rocks that are a result of cooling lava. Laumontite turns into a chalky material called leonardite if left to dehydrate.

Healing Properties
Laumontite is believed to be a powerful stone in the practice of Reiki, harmonizing the body's energy and kick-starting physical and emotional healing. Excessive bloating may benefit from laumontite, and it might encourage active toxin removal. The stone's particles are supposedly so tiny that they can infiltrate the body's cells, which is how they remove toxic components.
Usage
Laumontite is primarily used for mineral collections but also makes for a good chemical filter. Some studies have shown that laumontite has the potential to treat aqueous nuclear waste.
