PATTON— THOMSONITE, MESOLITE, AND CHABAZITE the Table mountains, with their basaltic caps and a much more detailed description of the various zeolitic minerals contained in the amygdaloidal cavities. They also discuss the results of the investigations of Professor Carl Klein on the optical anomalies of analcite and apophyllite from this locality* During the past two years the Colorado State School of Mines, located at Golden, has been conducting quarrying operations for the purpose of securing for its mineral cabinet specimens of these Table Mountain zeolites. A new locality opened up on the east faGe of North Table mountain proved to be very prolific of these zeolites and produced many specimens of ex­ treme beauty. In most respects the zeolites here developed correspond closely with the occurrences described in the above mentioned paper by Cross and Hillebrand, and it is hardly worth while to duplicate what they have already written on the subject. The minerals thomsonite and mesolite, however, not only show extraordinary beauty, but occur in a great variety of forms; habits, and associations, and in the case of the former also present features that do not entirely accord with the descriptions of Cross and Hillebrand. P l a c e a n d M o d e o f O c c u r r e n c e As the description of these zeolites and of the Table mountains in which they occur are so readily accessible to all, a very brief reference to the surroundings will suffice for our present purpose. At Golden are two socalled table mountains, designated North Table mountain and South Table mountain. Geologically they are but one mountain, con­ sisting of soft, nearly horizontal beds of Middle Tertiary age, capped with a thick lava sheet and cut in two by Clear creek. The soft bedded rocks that form the base of the mountain are almost entirely composed of fine andesite ash beds belonging to the Denver Tertiary.f The lava cap consists of two flows of feldspar-basalt that together reach a thick­ ness of about 100 feet at the place where the minerals under discussion were obtained. The second flow followed so closely upon the first that no erosion of the first sheet occurred before it was covered by the second sheet. The two flows are of about equal thickness and form a nearly vertical cliff of 100 feet, in the center of which is a horizontal band of very scoriaceous basalt that belongs mainly to the top of the lower flow. This porous band is some 15 feet thick and contains caCvities of all sizes up to 6 or 8 feet. The large cavities are drawn out flat in the direction ♦Neues Jahrbueh fur Mineralogie, etc., vol. i, 1884, p. 250. fSee Whitman Cross: Geology of the Denver basin, Monograph xxvii, U. S. Geol. Survey, p. 155. PLACE AND MODE OF OCCURRENCE 4 6 3 of flow; the smaller ones may be flattened oval in shape. Even in the weather-beaten face of the cliff the presence of white zeolitic minerals filling the cavities is very noticeable. At a depth of 2 or 3 feet they are usually quite fresh. Cross and Hillebrand divide the zeolites filling the amygdaloidal cav­ ities in the basalt of North and South Table mountains into two groups, based upon their method of occurrence. The minerals of the first group are laumontite and stilbite, and are to be found only on the floor of the cavities. On the floor of many of the cavities, especially of the larger ones, there is to be seen a very peculiar bedded deposit of yellowish or reddish yellow color, which closely resembles a friable sandstone, but which is shown to be composed of mixtures of these two minerals. Included in the minerals of the first group are also to be mentioned occasional minute, reddish spherules of thomsonite. These latter have not been observed by the writer in the newly opened locality ; but with this exception the minerals of the first group are quite in accordance with the descriptions given by Cross and Hillebrand and may be passed over without further comment. The second group is made to include all those that are not confined to the floor of the cavities. They occur on the roof and sides, as well as on the floor composed of zeolites of the first group, or they completely line cavities that do not contain these bedded floors. The minerals of this second group are thomsonite, stilbite, chabazite, analcite, apophyllite, and mesolite, to which maybe added calciteand aragonite, as both these minerals occur associated with the zeolites of the second group. T h o m s o n it e GENERAL DESCRIPTION It is universally recognized that specimens of any given species com­ ing from the same locality usually have the same habit and general appearance. This similarity affects crystal form and habit, color, luster, size, and association, and is so marked that mineralogists do not hesitate to identify localities by such peculiarities, such identification of localities usually being entirely justified by the facts. Exceptions to this rule will doubtless suggest themselves to the reader, but it is doubtful if a more striking one can be found than is shown by the mineral thomsonite in the particular locality under discussion. It would not be difficult to select four or more specimens of this mineral coming from immediately adjacent cavities so markedly different in habit and general appearance as to suggest their occurring in widely different localities. In fact, one 464 H. B. PATTON— THOMSONITE, MESOLITE, AND CHABAZITE may be justified in stating the contrast in still stronger terms, inasmuch as it is difficult to realize that the several specimens really represent the same mineral, irrespective of their common origin. This great diversity is undoubtedly due to the fact that the several varieties have been formed under varying conditions. It is, indeed, possible and easy to recognize several generations of thomsonite, each generation having its own habit. As a matter of fact, two such generations were recognized and described by Cross and Hillebrand. Their description of the first generation is very exact, and specimens of this type may easily be identified from such description. It is not so easy, however, to identify their second genera­ tion with any individuals of the later ones described in the following pages. Without the aid of photographs

  • The Regional Distribution of Zeolites in the Basalts of the Faroe Islands and the Significance of Zeolites As Palaeo- Temperature Indicators
    The regional distribution of zeolites in the basalts of the Faroe Islands and the significance of zeolites as palaeo- temperature indicators Ole Jørgensen The first maps of the regional distribution of zeolites in the Palaeogene basalt plateau of the Faroe Islands are presented. The zeolite zones (thomsonite-chabazite, analcite, mesolite, stilbite-heulandite, laumontite) continue below sea level and reach a depth of 2200 m in the Lopra-1/1A well. Below this level, a high temperature zone occurs characterised by prehnite and pumpellyite. The stilbite-heulan- dite zone is the dominant mineral zone on the northern island, Vágar, the analcite and mesolite zones are the dominant ones on the southern islands of Sandoy and Suðuroy and the thomsonite-chabazite zone is dominant on the two northeastern islands of Viðoy and Borðoy. It is estimated that zeolitisa- tion of the basalts took place at temperatures between about 40°C and 230°C. Palaeogeothermal gradients are estimated to have been 66 ± 9°C/km in the lower basalt formation of the Lopra area of Suðuroy, the southernmost island, 63 ± 8°C/km in the middle basalt formation on the northernmost island of Vágar and 56 ± 7°C/km in the upper basalt formation on the central island of Sandoy. A linear extrapolation of the gradient from the Lopra area places the palaeosurface of the basalt plateau near to the top of the lower basalt formation. On Vágar, the palaeosurface was somewhere between 1700 m and 2020 m above the lower formation while the palaeosurface on Sandoy was between 1550 m and 1924 m above the base of the upper formation.

    I`mt`qx1/00Lhmdq`knesgdLnmsg9Rbnkdbhsd This month’s mineral, scolecite, is an uncommon zeolite from India. Our write-up explains its origin as a secondary mineral in volcanic host rocks, the difficulty of collecting this fragile mineral, the unusual properties of the zeolite-group minerals, and why mineralogists recently revised the system of zeolite classification and nomenclature. OVERVIEW PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Chemistry: Ca(Al2Si3O10)A3H2O Hydrous Calcium Aluminum Silicate (Hydrous Calcium Aluminosilicate), usually containing some potassium and sodium. Class: Silicates Subclass: Tectosilicates Group: Zeolites Crystal System: Monoclinic Crystal Habits: Usually as radiating sprays or clusters of thin, acicular crystals or Hairlike fibers; crystals are often flattened with tetragonal cross sections, lengthwise striations, and slanted terminations; also massive and fibrous. Twinning common. Color: Usually colorless, white, gray; rarely brown, pink, or yellow. Luster: Vitreous to silky Transparency: Transparent to translucent Streak: White Cleavage: Perfect in one direction Fracture: Uneven, brittle Hardness: 5.0-5.5 Specific Gravity: 2.16-2.40 (average 2.25) Figure 1. Scolecite. Luminescence: Often fluoresces yellow or brown in ultraviolet light. Refractive Index: 1.507-1.521 Distinctive Features and Tests: Best field-identification marks are acicular crystal habit; vitreous-to-silky luster; very low density; and association with other zeolite-group minerals, especially the closely- related minerals natrolite [Na2(Al2Si3O10)A2H2O] and mesolite [Na2Ca2(Al6Si9O30)A8H2O]. Laboratory tests are often needed to distinguish scolecite from other zeolite minerals. Dana Classification Number: 77.1.5.5 NAME The name “scolecite,” pronounced SKO-leh-site, is derived from the German Skolezit, which comes from the Greek sklx, meaning “worm,” an allusion to the tendency of its acicular crystals to curl when heated and dehydrated.

  • Mineralogical Notes on Mesolite and Scolecite from Japan
    MINERALOGICAL JOURNAL, VOL . 5, No. 5, PP. 309-320, SEPT., 1968 MINERALOGICAL NOTES ON MESOLITE AND SCOLECITE FROM JAPAN KAZuo HARADA Section of Geology, Chichibu Museum of Natural History , Nagatoro 1417, Chichibu-gun, Saitama MAMORU HARA Geological and Mineralogical Institute, Faculty of Science, Tokyo University of Education, Otsuka, Tokyo and KAZUSO NAKAO Chemical Institute, Faculty of Science, Tokyo University of Education, Otsuka, Tokyo ABSTRACT Occurrence of mesolites and scolecite was confirmed in veinlets or amyg dales in andesitic or basaltic rocks in Japan. The results of chemical, physical and X-ray studies of these minerals are described, with their mineral associ ations and modes of occurrences. Introduction Mesolite and scolecite are usually classified as common fibrous zeolites, but there has been no report on the occurrence of these zeolites in Japan though the thermal and chemical data of mesolite from Tezuka, Nagano, Japan, was given by Koizumi (1953). However, our routine examinations of fibrous zeolites in the National Science Museum, Tokyo, recently confirmed that mesolite and scolecite are not so rare in Japan as hitherto believed. This paper deals with the 310 Mineralogical Notes on Mesolite and Scolecite from Japan descriptions of scolecite and mesolites from Japan. a) Mesolite from Tezuka, Nishisioda-mura, Chiisagata-gun, Naga no, Japan (coll. by Takaharu Imayoshi). This mineral occurs as fibrous aggregates, sometimes associated with heulandite, in the vein lets (2-3cm wide) in andesitic tuff breccia. The DTA, TGA and chemical analysis of this specimen were provided by Koizumi (1953). b) Mesolite from Oshima, Otsuki City, Yamanashi, Japan (coll. by the writers). This mineral occurs as fibrous aggregates closely associated with stilbite in amygdales (1-2cm) of thoroughly altered olivine basalt.
