Ferrierite-Mg

Ramada zeolite occurrence, Ramada e Caneças, Odivelas, Lisbon, Portugal

From an old find: very thin pink to reddish urchin-like aggregates of ferrierite-Mg crystals in a soft basaltic vug, lined with what I believe may be a mineral from the smectite group. I estimate that the field of view is 35 mm and that the cavity containing the ferrierite is about 7 mm across. This zeolite occurrence is part of the Lisbon ...
