Alphabetical List Tree DiagramDetailed Mineral List:
| β Analcime Formula: Na(AlSi2O6) · H2O Localities: Habit: Trapezohedrons, sometimes with small cube faces Colour: White, pink, brown Fluorescence: Some copper-included crystals fluoresce blue Description: Crystals from nearer Swan Creek frequently show linear gashes from an earlier mineral, now dissolved away; possibly anhydrite. |
| β Anhydrite Formula: CaSO4 |
| β Aragonite Formula: CaCO3 |
| β Baryte Formula: BaSO4 Localities: Habit: Simple flat rhombs. Colour: White, colorless. |
| β Calcite Formula: CaCO3 Localities: Habit: Many habits. Crystals associated with the orange chabazite tend to be steep scalenohedrons. Colour: White, gray |
| β Celadonite Formula: K(MgFe3+◻)(Si4O10)(OH)2 |
| β 'Chabazite' Localities: Habit: rhombohedrons, simple penetration twins, rare contact twins Colour: salmon orange, red, pink, white |
| β Chabazite-Ca Formula: (Ca,K2,Na2)2[Al2Si4O12]2 · 12H2O Localities: Habit: Rhombs, internal and penetration twins ubiquitous, contact twins rare. Colour: White, pink, orange, red Fluorescence: None Description: The classic orange material is associated with drusy colorless, pearly heulandite, orange stilbite, and less commonly calcite. Sometimes stained black with a very thin coating of wad. Specimens are easily etched by groundwater and often exhibit broken edges from frost damage. |
