“…The major mineral phase present in the studied samples is found to be HEU-type zeolite, with percentages varying from 42 wt.% (sample X1) to 67 wt.% (sample X4), with an average amount of 57 wt.%. These results are in good agreement with previous studies on the zeolitic tuffs of Metaxades Area, which report an average amount of 58 wt.% in HEU-type zeolite (Marantos et al, 1989;Tsirambides et al, 1989Tsirambides et al, , 1993Tsirambides, 1991;Misaelides et al, 1994aMisaelides et al, ,b, 1995aKoutles et al, 1995;Symeopoulos et al, 1996;Haidouti, 1997;Tserveni-Gousi et al, 1997;Sikalidis, 1998;Yannakopoulos et al, 1998;Vlessidis et al, 2001;Filippidis and Kassoli-Fournaraki, 2002;Katranas et al, 2003;Papadopoulos et al, 2004;Filippidis and Kantiranis, 2005;Kantiranis et al, 2006;Filippidis et al, 2007). In minor amounts plagioclase (5-21 wt.%), K-feldspar (4-19 wt.%), cristobalite (3-17 wt.%), quartz (3-8 wt.%), micas (3-4 wt.%) and clay minerals (4-11 wt.%), were also determined.…”
