| ⓘ Aegirine-augite Formula: (NaaCabFe2+cMgd)(Fe3+eAlfFe2+gMgh)Si2O6 |
| ⓘ Albite Formula: Na(AlSi3O8) References: |
| ✪ Albite var. Anorthoclase Formula: (Na,K)AlSi3O8 Habit: prismatic Colour: gray-green color and silky luster, but the crystals are often heavily included/covered by black glass. Description: When an explosion occurs, the crystals are caught in frothy phonolite bombs, which are tossed out along the crater rim. The bombs' glassy matrix quickly weathers away to leave deep piles of crystals up to 9 cm.

Geochronology
Mineralization age: Cenozoic : 4.7 Ma to 0.44 ± 0.1 MaImportant note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
