Part of a vug in basaltic matix lined with levyne followed by two generations of hemispherical thomsonite. One generation with smooth surface , the other showing tabular thomsonite and some traces of mesolite needles.
Aggregate of tabular thomsonite in epitaxial intergrowth with natrolite in a small vug of vesicular basaltic matrix. The identifcation of natrolite is a conclusion from the epitaxy. Thomsonite/natrolite epitaxies are well known from many locations but thomsonite/mesolite not. Thomsonite occurs often with mesolite in radiating sprays with a ...
