augite
Augite, also known as Augurite, is a common rock-forming pyroxene mineral with formula . The crystals are monoclinic and prismatic. Augite has two prominent cleavages, meeting at angles near 90 degrees.
chabazite
Chabazite () is a tectosilicate mineral series in the zeolite group, closely related to gmelinite, with the chemical formula , where M is one or more metal cations. Recognized minerals in the series include Chabazite-Ca, Chabazite-K, Chabazite-Na, and Chabazite-Sr, depending on the prominence of the indicated cation.

euclase
Euclase is a beryllium aluminium hydroxide silicate mineral (BeAlSiO4(OH)). It crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system and is typically massive to fibrous as well as in slender prismatic crystals. It is related to beryl (Be3Al2Si6O18) and other beryllium minerals. It is a product of the decomposition of beryl in pegmatites. Euclase occurs mostly in association with minerals like: quartz, muscovite, fluorite, albite, rutile, schorl and calcite.
