SALOON, fibrous varieties ; the red compact variety, by 
Nat. Hist, some Called crocalite, &c.—The nairolite of 
Klaproth, of which a few specimens are added, 
is by some considered as a variety of mesotype. 
—crystallized: among the colour¬ 
ed varieties is the red from Fassa (fassaite).— 
ApophyUite^ some varieties of which have been 
mistaken for mesotype and stilbite.— 
among the crystallized varieties of which are re¬ 
markably large specimens of the trapezoidal mo¬ 
dification.— Chabasite or chabasie, in groups of 
primitive rhombohedral and modified crystals. 
Case i 1. Continuation of zeoHtic substances: 
— prehnite^ 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 koupholite of Vauqueiin, i 
and probably also the karpholite of Werner. The ; 
substance known by the name of Chinese jade ‘ 
(or stone You^ see Room 1. table 7.) may per¬ 
haps likewise be referred to prehnite.— Harmo- ' 
tome, or cross stone, both in simple and cruci- ; 
form crystals, from Oberstein, Strontian, and ; 
Andreasberg in the Hartz, which last locality : 
has procured to this substance the names of an- > 
dreoliteand hercinite.—Among those substances : 
deposited in this case which are in some respects i 
related to zeolitic minerals, mav be observed the I 
lazulite or lapis lazuli, which furnishes the valua- t 
ble pigment known by the name of ultramarine; '
