Besides phacolite, mentioned above, other varieties of chabazite are distinguished. |
These early-formed needles often serve as nuclei for the stalactitic growth of other minerals, usually thomsonite or chabazite. |
In the spectra of exposed specimens, peaks due to gismondine be came quite prominent including those of albite and chabazite. |
The faces on chabazite are typically smooth and lustrous, whereas gmelinite has triangular growths on the crystal faces. |
These include Nova Scotia's provincial mineral stilbite, as well as heulandite, analcime, chabazite, gmelinite, natrolite and thomsonite. |
Epistilbite, mordenite, stellerite, natrolite, scolecite, mesolite, and chabazite are relatively uncommon, and goosecreekite and yugawaralite are extraordinarily rare. |
