phillipsite
Phillipsite is a group of white or colorless zeolite minerals that are hydrated potassium, calcium, and sodium aluminosilicate with chemical formula (K,Na,Ca)1-2(Si,Al)8O16·6(H2O). They are typically found in volcanic rocks, crystalline schists, and hydrothermal veins. These minerals are often used in scientific research and commercial applications like water purification.
Webster Dictionary

a hydrous silicate of aluminia, lime, and soda, a zeolitic mineral commonly occurring in complex twin crystals, often cruciform in shape; -- called also christianite
Etymology: [So named after John Phillips, an English mineralogist.]

Phillipsite
Phillipsite is a mineral of the zeolite group; a hydrated potassium, calcium and aluminium silicate, approximating to (Ca,Na2,K2)3Al6Si10O32·12H2O.. The crystals are monoclinic, but only complex cruciform twins are known, these being exactly like twins of harmotome. Crystals of phillipsite are, however, usually smaller and more transparent and glassy than those of harmotome. Spherical groups with a radially fibrous structure and bristled with crystals on the surface are not uncommon. The Mohs hardness is 4.5, and the specific gravity is 2.2. The species was established by A. Lévy in 1825 and named after William Phillips. French authors use the name Christianite, given by A. Des Cloizeaux in 1847. Phillipsite is a mineral of secondary origin, and occurs with other zeolites in the amygdaloidal cavities of mafic volcanic rocks: for example in the basalt of the Giants Causeway in County Antrim, and near Melbourne in Victoria; and in Lencitite near Rome. Small crystals of recent formation have been observed in the masonry of the hot baths at Plombires and Bourbonne-les-Bains, in France. Minute spherical aggregates embedded in red clay were dredged by the Challenger from deep sea sedimenary deposits in the Pacific Ocean.
