ⓘ Aegirine Formula: NaFe3+Si2O6 |
ⓘ Analcime Formula: Na(AlSi2O6) · H2O Description: "In a pegmatoidal phase of the leucetite at the Cosgrove quarry analcime has been identified forming subhedral, turbid crystals possibly replacing primary leucite. Analcime also forms white, opaque prisms about 1.5mm long replacing nepheline in vesicles in the leucetite." |
ⓘ Calcite Formula: CaCO3 |
ⓘ Diopside Formula: CaMgSi2O6 |
ⓘ Epidote Formula: (CaCa)(AlAlFe3+)O[Si2O7][SiO4](OH) |
ⓘ Fluorapatite Formula: Ca5(PO4)3F |
ⓘ Fluorapatite var. Carbonate-rich Fluorapatite Formula: Ca5(PO4,CO3)3(F,O) |
ⓘ Leucite Formula: K(AlSi2O6) |
