Natrolite (English spelling)

A type of zeolite. It is needle-shaped or rhombic prism-shaped, close to a square prism. It occurs in the voids of basalt, alkali basalt, and tuff of these rocks, together with analcime, thomsonite, mesozoite, and gonardite. It also occurs as a vein in metamorphosed basic tuff associated with serpentine, together with analcime and pectolite. It is also found as the latest crystallization in pegmatites of nepheline syenite. The name comes from its chemical composition.
