Some of the pioneering zeolite research has been carried out on heulandite with the simplified formula Ca4AlgSi28072 nH20 because large crystals of this species are available in limited quantities from cavities and vugs in volcanic rocks, e.g. in the Deccan Trap basalts of Western India [3]. Already in 1934 Tiselius [4] studied the temperature, pressure, and concentration dependence of the anisotropic H2O diffusion in heulandite single-crystals. Other...

LIP (Large Igneous Province) is a large basaltic continental or oceanic igneous province, generally composed at the surface of flood basalts (e.g., Deccan Traps, Iceland).
