Based on X-ray power analysis, X-ray monocrystal diffraction analysis, infrared spectroscopic analysis, electron-probe wave spectrum (EPM) analysis, scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis and energy spectrum (EDS) analysis, the black tabular crystals occurring within the interlayer-gliding (fractured) drusy cavities of altered basalt were determined to be babingtonite of the triclinic crystal system. It is a new genetic type of babingtonite discovered for the first time in the Emeishan basalt in
