System:TriclinicColour:White, colourless, gray, ...

Name:Named from the Greek ανάλκιμος ("analkimos"), "weak" or "without force", alluding to weak electrostatic charge developed when heated or rubbed.


Zeolite Group. Analcime-Pollucite Series and the Analcime-Wairakite Series. The sodium analogue of Pollucite.

The aluminosilicate framework of the crystal structure does not change in topology at all. The reduction to various lower symmetries occurs because of slight changes in the ordering of Si and Al atoms and slight crumpling of the framework. Macroscopically, the crystals always look pseudocubic, apart from the very slight nonzero birefringence and fine lamellar twinning visible in the polarising microscope, because the ordering and crumpling happens in different directions in different lamellae, and over the whole crystal it averages out. Hence, the differences are far too slight to merit multiple species names, and analcime is a common example of a number of minerals which occur in multiple crystal system/space group varieties. The crystal structure topology and maximum possible symmetry of the idealised structure are what really matters. There is a slight analogy with hand specimen colour versus streak: a hand specimen can show a range of colours due to trace impurities, but these are diluted out in the small particles of the streak powder, so that only the true inherent colour of the material, much more constant, remains. (Andy Christy, 2010)

Type Occurrence of Analcime

Type Locality:Cyclopean Islands, Acitrezza (Aci Trezza), Etna Volcanic Complex, Catania Province, Sicily, Italy
Place of Conservation of Type Material:Natural History Museum, Paris, France, 13.77, H4154.

Occurrences of Analcime

Geological Setting:In the groundmass or vesicles of silica-poor intermediate and mafic igneous rocks, typically basalts and phonolites, from late-stage hydrothermal solutions, or disseminated due to deuteric alteration. In lake beds, altered from pyroclastics or clays, or as a primary precipitate; authigenic in sandstones and siltstones.

About Crystal Atlas

You may need to scroll this box using your mouse to view the full instructions.

The mindat.org Crystal Atlas allows you to view a selection of crystal drawings of real and idealised crystal forms for this mineral and, in certain cases, 3d rotating crystal objects. You need Java to see these. You can download Java for free - click here to download Java

The 3d models and java code are kindly provided by www.smorf.nl. You can control the movement of the models by holding down the left mouse-button over the 3d model and moving your mouse. Keyboard controls are:

: default positions
t/T: decrease/increase transparency x/X: next/previous texture
b/B: next/previous background w: toggle wireframe
s: toggle sticks m: toggle miller indices
k: toggle crystallographic axes =/-: zoom in/out
r: stop/start rotation 1/2/3
