The most recent find was a spectacular nodular formation of green apophyllite on white petal-shaped stilbite, discovered last year. |
|
This calcite typically overgrows quartz and crystallizes before heulandite, stilbite, and apophyllite. |
|
At the latest, low-temperature stage, calcite develops steep scalenohedra and overgrows stilbite or apophyllite. |
|
First-generation crystals are rarely noted as minute orange-colored trapezohedra associated with the stratified layers of laumontite and stilbite, discussed below. |
|
These include Nova Scotia's provincial mineral stilbite, as well as heulandite, analcime, chabazite, gmelinite, natrolite and thomsonite. |
|
Comparison is made with assemblages at Arlington Quarry on North Mountain, where the dominant zeolite minerals are heulandite and stilbite. |
|
We note that whereas the clinopyroxene is fresh, the plagioclase is variably altered to albite and stilbite. |
