%0 Journal Article %T MINERALOGICAL AND GEOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF ZEOLITES IN ALBANIAN OPHIOLITIC PLAGIOGRANITES %A A. Beqiraj %A E. Goga Beqiraj %A F.

They crop out in the north - eastern sectors of the Albanian ophiolitic complex presenting intrusive contacts with volcanic and gabbroic rocks. The zeolite, that is a typically secondary mineral, has filled thin veins and/or small vesicles of the rock. From the XRD, EMPA and microscopic analyses it is concluded that this zeolite belongs to the laumontite - leonhardite (LAU) series %K Laumontite %K leonhardite %K zeolites %K plagiogranites %K Kimza-Tuci %U https://ejournals.epublishing.ekt.gr/index.php/geosociety/article/view/14105
