Specimens of zeolites in amygdaloidal basalt from Edinbane, Skye, UK. These samples show amygdales filled with zeolite crystals within basalt, this creates a rather interesting aesthetic as pockets of both small and large zeolites contrast with the dark of the basalt. Amygdaloidal basalt is a variety of lava which has crystal infilled former gas vesicles often appearing as small white spots in the otherwise black or dark brown finely crystalline basalt. The infill usually occurs as a secondary process when mineral rich volcanic fluids or ground water deposit minerals such as quartz, calcite and in this case zeolites in the solidified gas bubbles. Specimens are supplied in a white card tray with an information label, a must have for any British mineral collector.

Amygdaloidal Basalt £1.73 – £3.46 ex VAT
Specimen Size
2" x 2"3" x 2"4" x 3"

Amygdaloidal basalt is an igneous rock which is extrusive in nature, these specimens formed over 60 million years ago during the Tertiary period and come from Ireland. They are part of the Antrim lava group and exhibit a dark colouration with occurrences of amygdales containing quartz and calcite crystals. As a basalt they are somewhat dense, but lighter than pure samples due to the cavities within them which formed as a result of gaseous activity during their ejection. Over time, hydrothermal fluids pass through the rock and minerals form within the cavities, which gives the usually dark coloured rock a speckled appearance. These samples are available in various sizes and are suitable for higher educational use to detail the subtle differences between similar igneous rocks, they come supplied in a card tray with an information label.
