Abstract/NotesThe mineral now briefly described occurs as a rare constituent of the zone of hybrid rocks formed by assimilation of limestone by the dolerite intrusion at Scawt Hill, Co. Antrim. It is found particularly in intimate association with the melilite-bearing types of this hybrid zone and is a constituent of some of the late-formed vesicles in these rocks. The minerals associated with it in the vesicles are chiefly calcite, thomsonite, and another zeolitic mineral as yet undetermined. These vesicles are most frequently enclosed by a ground rich in melilite, or they may occur within large crystals of melilite. In some cases the mineral forms minute venules cutting through the melilite, suggesting that it is derived in part by attack of residual solutions upon the melilite itself. All the evidence clearly indicates that the mineral is among the latest products of consolidation of the hybrid zone.
