Easy to forget that the average person doesn't know that olivene is a neosilicate and that feldspars and quartz are tectosilicates lolol
Gotta love me some KAl2Si3O8

quartz must not, it will not win! Theres more to the world than bloody tectosilicates !

I don't have strong feelings about either of these, but I voted for pectolite. Why? Because tectosilicates (like hauyne) are overrepresented in the rock world. I went with the inosilicate instead.
#MinCup25 Round 2 Match 1: It's a pair of striking blue beauties as #pectolite the uncrushable faces off against #hauyne, the phoenix from volcanic ashes!

Meaning of #chabasita In Geology and Crystallography it is the name of each of the varieties of a class or group of minerals called zeolites, which are tectosilicates of an interchangeable cation and take names according to that cation that can be Calcium, Potassiu.. chabasita

I think it's sometimes unavoidable in science writing, but this ain't a paper on tectosilicates in early Hadean period peridotites. Jfc!

As your alkaline melt with random composition (X) somewhere on that diagram begins to precipitate alkaline feldspars and SiO2 deficient tectosilicates, the composition reaches one of those topographic curves and will then move *along* the curve until all of your melt has gone back to solid solution
