Description

Thomsonite is the name for a small group of tectosilicates from the zeolite group. Before 1997, thomsonite was a single mineral type, but after a reclassification, it became clear that the mineral can occur as two varieties: thomsonite-Ca and thomsonite-Sr. The former is the most common, the latter less common in the earth's crust.
