Varieties of Meionite
Algerite | Square unterminated prisms to several cm, rarely shows the normal pyramid. Varies from fresh to an altered meionite partly replaced by muscovite and possibly minor vesuvianite. |
Kembleite | Slender pale yellow to brown elongated square prismatic crystals, often intergrown with fine-grained phlogopite. |
Nuttallite | gray with slight tint of purple or blue, occasional slight chatoyancy. |
