Summary

Hey(1936) called attention to discrepancies in the identification of the metascolecite (Michel, 1920) from the Horní Jílové (Ober Eulau) locality in Bohemia. In a check study this mineral has been determined as mesolite, a zeolite hitherto not described from this locality. The mineral was identified using optical, chemical, thermal, IR-spectroscopic and X-ray methods. Radial aggregates of mesolite occur in fissures of contact metamorphosed marls in the proximity of a phonolite intrusion. In terminal parts mesolite often changes into scolecite.

Zusammenfassung

Hey(1936) hat auf die Widersprüche in der Bestimmung des Metaskolezites (Michel, 1920) aus der Horní Jílové (Ober Eulau) Lokalität in Nordböhmen aufmerksam gemacht. Auf Grund einer Revisionsstudie wurde dieses Mineral als ein aus dieser Lokalität bisher nicht beschriebener Zeolit, nämlich Mesolit, bestimmt. Das Mineral wurde mit optischen, chemischen, thermischen, IR-spektroskopischen und röntgenometrischen Methoden identifiziert. Die radial-strahligen Aggregate des Mesolits kommen in den Phonolitintrusionen vor. In terminalen Teilen gehen sie oft in Skolezit über.
