| ⓘ Actinolite Formula: ◻Ca2(Mg4.5-2.5Fe0.5-2.5)Si8O22(OH)2 Habit: elongated, acicular Colour: dark to pale green Description: As elongated grains from alteration of primary amphibolite, as microcrystals embedded in secondary calcite, with epidote, pyrite, fluorite and chabazite-Ca. References: |
| ⓘ Calcite Formula: CaCO3 Habit: modified rhombohedrons Colour: white Fluorescence: magenta to orange-red best under MW UV Description: Masses filling clefts or brittle fault zones, in the former enclosing quartz, actinolite, epidote, pyrite, fluorite and chabazite-Ca. Fault zones can have voids with crystals to ~2 cm and associated with stilbite and chabazite-Ca. References: |
| ⓘ Chabazite-Ca Formula: (Ca,K2,Na2)2[Al2Si4O12]2 · 12H2O Habit: rhombohedral Colour: white Description: Crystals < 1cm, in clefts and faults associated with stilbite, calcite, pyrite, actinolite, epidote. References: |
| ⓘ Epidote Formula: (CaCa)(AlAlFe3+)O[Si2O7][SiO4](OH) Habit: drusy Colour: pistachio green Description: As drusy microcrystals with quartz, actinolite pyrite, fluorite and chabazite-Ca, typically enclosed in calcite or in thin veins in massive quartz or as alteration of primary amphibolite. References: |
| ⓘ Fluorite Formula: CaF2 Habit: octahedral Colour: colorless to pale purple Description: As microcrystals embedded in secondary calcite, with epidote, pyrite, actinolite and chabazite-Ca. References: |
| ⓘ Pyrite Formula: FeS2 Habit: cube-octahedron combinations Colour: red patina Description: As microcrystals embedded in secondary calcite, with epidote, actinolite, fluorite and chabazite-Ca. References: |
| ⓘ Quartz Formula: SiO2 Habit: elongated prismatic Colour: colorless Description: Massive in veins or as microcrystals in clefts and faults typically with epidote. References: |
| ⓘ 'Stilbite Subgroup' Formula: M6-7[Al8-9Si27-28O72] · nH2O Habit: sheaf aggregates or elongated prismatic Colour: pale yellow to white Description: Crystals to about 1 cm in fault zones with calcite and chabazite-Ca. References: |
