Oomp.--O. ratio for R, Si, fl=1: 4: 2; whence, if half of the water is basic, 2:4: 1; and the formula (ifi+i Ca) Si+i ft=Silica 666, lime 26-4, water 170=100. It has the prismatic angle nearly of amphibole, to which it is related in composition. Analyses: 1, 2, v. Kobell (L c); 3, Connel (1. c.); 4, Wurth (Pogg., It. 118); 5, v. Hauer (Jahrb. G.

Effervesces with soda, and fuses to a subtransparent glass, which is milk-white on cooling; with borax forms a transparent colorless glass. Gelatinizes readily in muriatic acid. Obs.--Occurs in trap or related eruptive rocks. Found at the Faroe Islands; in Iceland; on the island of Disko, Greenland. 342. GYROLITE. Gurolite Anderson, PhiL Mag., IV. L 101, 1851. Gyrolite.

Pyr., etc.--In a closed tube yields water, intumesces, and separates into thin scales. B.B. swells up and ruses with difficulty to an opaque enamel. Obs.--From the Isle of Skye, with stilbite, laumontite, etc.; also N. Scotia, 26 m. S.W. of 0. Blomidon, between Margaretvillc and Port George, on apophyllite.
