Muscovite var. Illite ?
Formula: K0.65Al2.0[Al0.65Si3.35O10](OH)2
Description: Bargar & Keith (1986): "Illite is provisionally identified (based on a low, usually broad, approximately 10 Å X-ray diffraction peak that showed no significant change with glycolation) in a few X-ray diffraction analyses of whole-rock, vesicle, and fracture filling samples from lava flows and pyroclastic deposits at 310-362 m, 568 m, 789 m, and 1217 m depth. The 10 Å illite(?) mineral formed later than calcite in one vesicle filling and is associated with calcite, dolomite, and smectite in other samples."

Description: Bargar & Keith (1986): "Small patches of disseminated, very minute (~= 0.02 mm), yellow, metallic, cubic pyrite crystals were identified only at 943, 945, and 1068 m in the GEO N-l drill core. At 1068 m a pyrite veinlet crosscuts iron oxide deposits, and pyrite crystals formed later than smectite in vesicles. Associated minerals are smectite, calcite, siderite, and hematite."
