β Analcime Formula: Na(AlSi2O6) · H2O Habit: trapazohedra to 3cm in diameter Colour: red, orange, green, dark brownish-black Reference: Tschernich, R. (1992): Zeolites of the World, p.50 |
β Andradite Formula: Ca3Fe3+2(SiO4)3 Description: Good crystals are found on Highway 3 just west of the town limits. βSharp black dodecahedral crystals of melanite to 7 mm weather out of the pink alkaline Crowsnest Volcanics. The contrast of the black crystals on a pinkish or olive-green matrix provides attractive cabinet and thumbnail specimens.β1
