Higashi-matsuura


Higashimatuura basalt is an alkali olivine basalt distributed in the northwest of Saga Prefecture, Japan.

Ishibashi states:

" Several kinds of amygdale minerals are found in the Higashi-matsuura basalts near Karatsu city, Saga Prefecture.
Among the localities, the chabazite and calcite are the most common minerals in this area. Although some other zeolites and clay minerals are observed in several druses. The crystallization sequence of the amygdale minerals is manifest according to the overgrowth of several minerals from the wall of the cavities towards the centre.
At first calcite and chabazite are crystallized and then herscherite, thomsonite and natrolite follow and next sepiolite, talc and nontronite are formed. And last illite, montmorillonite and halloysite are
crystallized."
