Marialite

Marialite is a relatively uncommon sodium aluminium silicate chloride mineral belonging to the scapolite group. It occurs in a range of colours, including colourless, white, blue, violet, yellow, and green, and typically exhibits a vitreous to pearly lustre. Marialite commonly forms prismatic crystals with a tetragonal crystal structure, as well as granular and massive aggregates. It is found primarily in metamorphic and metasomatic environments, often associated with minerals such as diopside, phlogopite, and calcite.
