Catapleiite : Na₂Zr[Si₃O₉]·2H₂O
	Demix-Varennes quarry, Saint-Amable sill, Varennes & St-Amable, Lajemmerais RCM, Montérégie, Québec, Canada FOV 1.0 x 1.0 mm. Collected by Modris B. late 1990s. Euhedral primary catapleiite from a contact zone cavity. It looks similar to cordylite-(Ce) but (per Horvath et al) the latter is confined to miarolitic cavities and mineralized seams whereas primary catapleiite is found almost exclusivly in the contact zone. Stereo child photo.

Catapleiite : Na₂Zr[Si₃O₉]·2H₂O
	Demix-Varennes quarry, Saint-Amable sill, Varennes & St-Amable, Lajemmerais RCM, Montérégie, Québec, Canada FOV 2.5 x 3.7 mm. Collected by Modris B. late 1990s. If you are going to collect STA you might as well know that this "charming" blob is representative of 98% of the catapleiite found there. According to Horvath et al (Min rec, Mineralien Welt), this is secondary catapleiite replacing eudialyte in a miarolitic cavity. Euhedral xls do exist but ...

Catapleiite : Na₂Zr[Si₃O₉]·2H₂O, Analcime : Na₂[Al₂Si₄O₁₂] · 2H₂O, Aegirine : NaFe³⁺[Si₂O₆]
	Mont Saint-Hilaire, Rouville RCM, Montérégie, Québec, Canada 3.3 x 2.6 x 1.5 cm. A classic and excellent combination specimen from the famous Mt.St-Hilaire of Quebec, with an unusually robust crystal! This is an old-timer. This is a well-terminated, very glassy, tabular, tan catapleiite crystal is nicely accented by sharp, porcelaneous, 3 mm analcime crystal on one edge and by aegirine crystals included ...
