A new locality of zeolite mineralization has been discovered in Malý Semerink, 500 m south of the Chřibská railway station in the Rybniště municipality, the Lužické hory Mountains, Czech Republic. Zeolites occur in cavities of Tertiary alkaline basalts that penetrated the quartz sandstones of the Czech Cretaceous Basin. A total of eight zeolite species were discovered here: analcime, cowlesite, erionite-Ca, chabazite-Ca, lévyne-Ca, phillipsite-K, scolecite, and thomsonite--Ca. The most notable are the colorless to white cross-intergrowths of phillipsite-K crystals up to 1 cm in size, white hemispherical cowlesite, and abundant thin tabular lévyne-Ca overgrown with fine fibrous erionite-Ca. The WDS quantitative analyses, X-ray powder patterns, and refined unit cell parameters are given for all described mineral phases.
