Mineralogical and Geochemical Characterization of Zeolites in Albanian Ophiolitic Plagiogranites

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: The plagiogranites, that represent the uppermost part of the plutonic complex of the Albanian ophiolites, are intensively altered. They crop out in the north - easternsectors of the Albanian ophiolitic complex presenting intrusive contacts with volcanic and gabbroic rocks. The zeolite, that is a typically secondary mineral, has filled thin veins and/or small vesicles of the rock. From the XRD, EMPA and microscopic analyses it is concluded that this zeolite belongs to the laumontite - leonhardite (LAU) series.
