minerals, hydrous silicates of alumina, with lime, soda, potash, or
rarely baryta. Here are included natrolite, stilbite, analcime,
chabazite, thomsonite, heulandite, and others. These species occur of

less frequently, in granite and gneiss. So called because many of these
species intumesce before the blowpipe.
