About Phillipsite Subgroup
Lustre:
Vitreous
Member of:
Name:
Named in 1825 by "Armand" Serve-Dieu Abailard Lévy in honor of William Phillips (1776-1829), British mineralogist. The mineral was long defined as a K-dominant species until the introduction of a suffix format for the dominant exchangeable cation.
Zeolite Group.
The original phillipsite mineral name now covers a subgroup of zeolite minerals:
Phillipsite-Ca, Phillipsite-K, Phillipsite-Na and Harmotome also belongs to this subgroup.
The original phillipsite material was from Acireale, Etna Volcanic Complex, Catania Province, Sicily, Italy.
See also the closely related flörkeite.
