• Clay → quartz → mordenite–heulandite → epistilbite → stilbite → thomsonite–mesolite-scolecite → chabazite → calcite.
• The sequence of silica-poor volcanic rocks commonly progresses from:
• Cowlesite → levyne–offretite → analcime → thomsonite–mesolite-scolecite → chabazite → calcite.
• Volcanic ash, an open system, an example:
• Unaltered glas → heulandite → analcime → K-feldspar–quartz → water table
• Volcanic ash, saline lake zoning, an closed system, an example:
• Unaltered glas than fresh water (unaltered glas and clays) → saline water (phillipsite and heulandite) → more saline water (analcime) → highly saline water (K-feldspar)
• Deep sea zeolites an example:
• Sea water than silica-rich fossil radiolarians and phillipsite → heulandite
• Cooling of a volcanic flow, alteration of volcanic glas in cavities or veins, an example:
• Clay → phillipsite → chabazite or clay → levyne–offretite → thomsonite–mesolite-scolecite → chabazite or clay → mordenite–heulandite → stilbite → mesolite-scolecite → chabazite
• Hydrothermal zeolite zoning, western Iceland:
• Chabazite zone at 55-70°C (levyne, phillipsite) → mesolite-scolecite zone at 60-90°C (thomsonite, gismondine) → stilbite–heulandite zone at 90-110°C (epistilbite, mordenite) → laumontite zone at 110-230°C (mordenite, analcime) → analcime–wairakite zone at 170-300°C → prehnite zone → epidote zone at over 230°C (chlorites) → actinolite zone (chlorites)
• Calcite and montmorillonite are found throughout.
• Contact hydrothermal metamorphism zoning
• Stilbite–heulandite–mordenite zone (under 150°C) → laumontite–quartz zone (150-180°C) → wairakite–yugawaralite–prehnite zone (180-280°C) → epidote–actinolite zone (280-390°C) → hornblende–biotite zone (390-600°C) → granitic magma
• Burial metamorphism zoning, New Zealand
• Two km thick unaltered glas → zeolite facies [heulandite (mordenite, quartz) → analcime–heulandite → wairakite → laumontite–albite–pumpellyite] → greenschist facies (albite–prehnite–pumpellyite–epidote) → epidote–amphibolite facies → amphibolite facies → granulite facies
• Contact metamorphism zoning, Cretaceous trachytes, Bulgaria
• Mordenite–quartz → chabazite–stilbite–heulandite–gmelinite → mesolite–scolecite–natrolite–thomsonite–laumontite–analcime → albite–epidote–prehnite–pumpellyite → granitic intrusion
• Contact metamorphism, Rhodope Mountains, Bulgaria
• Quartz–chalcedony–mordenite–ferrierite → stilbite–heulandite–chabazite–harmotome–laumontite → natrolite–analcime → albite–epidote → granitic intrusion
• Pegmatites
• Middle to late pegmatite crystallization (400 to 300°C): pollucite
• Cooler hydrothermal phase (250 to 150°C): cesian-analcime
• Upon further cooling: lepidolite and muscovite (micas)
• Notes: laumontite associated with prehnite, pumpellyite and epidote; has a high temperature origin. Its synthesis requires 250°C and more than 1000 bars in the laboratoy, but it crystallizes at 89-43°C and pH 7.74 at Sespe Hot Springs CA. Yugawaralite is pressure-sensitive: less than 500 m in geothermal systems (less than 234°C and 550 bars). Platy zeolites (e.g. stilbite, heulandite) have a high water content, fibrous zeolites grow even under water limiting conditions.
