Chabazite-Na from
F-19 Freeway Cutting, Abbotsford, City of Yarra, Victoria, Australia
| Classification | ||
|---|---|---|
| Species: | Chabazite-Na | |
| Formula: | (Na2,K2,Ca,Sr,Mg)2[Al2Si4O12]2 · 12H2O | |
| Comments: | "Chabazite occurs as colourless, water-clear sparkling crystals, which usually rapidly dehydrate and become opaque and crazed upon exposure. Micro crystals are very much less affected. The crystals are always twinned, and simple chabazite rhombs, or forms dominated by the rhomb, have never been observed in Melbourne Basalt. The 'phacolite' form and complex clusters based on this unit, are exceedingly common and alternative forms are rare. The terminal plane is always domed and has a frosted or etched appearance." Single phacolite type crystals occur up to 12 mm across and complex twin/clusters occur up to 20 mm across. | |
