Abstract/NotesWith chemical analyses by I. S. E. Carmichael.
SummaryGismondine is recorded from the Tertiary basalts of the North Atlantic region, from a total of some 40 localities in Antrim and Iceland. It occupies a well-marked position in the sequence of zeolite zones in the lavas, and the characteristic associates are chabazite, thomsonite, and phillipsite. Five new chemical analyses of gismondine from these localities show a negligible content of potash, and indicate plagioclase-type substitution, giving a series ranging from near Ca8Al16Si16O64.34H2O to near Na2·5Ca5·5Al13·5Si18·5O64.34H2O. Substitution of NaSi for CaAl leads to a decrease in refringence, birefringence, and density.
