Stilbite Subgroup from
Bill's Brook Dam (Saville Dam), Barkhamsted, Litchfield County, Connecticut, USA


Locality type:Dam
Classification
Species:'Stilbite Subgroup' (not an IMA approved species)
Formula:M6-7[Al8-9Si27-28O72] · nH2O
Formation:Secondary
Comments:One sample from here (https://www.mindat.org/photo-749754.html) was analyzed in 2018 via SEM-EDS and found to contain little or no Na, but does contain a significant amount of K, almost definitely too much for stellerite (not 100% sure without finding some published limits for K in stellerite). Therefore it is probably stilbite-Ca.
Habit:radiating, wheat sheave bundles
Colour:white
Confirmation
Validity:Believed Valid
