Formula:
NaCa2[HSi3O9]
A polytype of Pectolite
Electron diffraction patterns showed one pectolite sample from Rauschermühle, Germany, that gave a pattern like of "parawollastonite". The name parapectolite was suggested by Müller (1976).
Michael Fleischer according to IMA recommendation (1962) about parawollastonite, changed the name parapectolite to pectolite-M2abc.
The original pectolite-M2abc material came from Rauschermühle Quarry, Niederkirchen, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
