Nat. Hist. 
Case 10 . This case contains zeolitic sub¬ 
stances, VIZ. several varieties of scolicite and of 
mesotype, among the specimens of which may¬ 
be particularized those with perfect prismatic- 
acicular crystals (needle-stone of Werner) ; the 
delicately fibrous varieties ; the red compact 
variety, by some called crocalite, &c. Also the 
natroUte of Klaproth, of which a few specimens 
are added, is a variety of mesotype.— Stilhite^ 
mostly crystallized: among the coloured va¬ 
rieties is the red from Fassa (fassaite).— Apo- 
pJiylUte^ some varieties of which have been 
mistaken for mesotype and stilbite.— Analcimey 
among the crystallized varieties of which are 
remarkably large specimens of the trapezoidal 
modification.— Chahasitey or chabasie, in groups 
of primitive rhombohedral and modified crys¬ 
tals. 
Case 11 . Continuation of zeolitic substances : 
—prehnitey crystallized and massive, the grass- 
green variety of which, discovered in South 
Africa by the Abbe Rochon, has been mistaken 
for chrysolite, chrysoprase, and even emerald. 
To this belongs also the kouphoUte of Vauque- 
lin, and probably also the harpliolite of Werner. 
The substance known by the name of Chinese 
jade (or stone Fow, see Room I. table 5.) may 
perhaps likewise be referred to prehnite.— JAar- 
motomey or cross stone, both in simple and cru¬ 
ciform crystals, from Oberstein, Strontian, and 
Andreasberg
