Recently, specimens of scapolite of Moroccan origin have appeared on the market. The analyses we have carried out on several specimens indicate that it is mainly marialite, since the proportion of Na (marialite, Na₄Al₃Si₉O₂₄Cl) is higher than that of calcium (meionite, Ca₄Al₆Si₆O₂₄CO₃), and the presence of chlorine is also detected. We can see that the proportion of Ca is quite high, so we are in the middle of the marialite-meionite series. Crystals appear as tetragonal prisms truncated by the basal pinacoid and the first-order dipyramid. Transparent to translucent and with some inclusions. Fluorescent under SW-UL. We will send the analyses to the buyer.
