Summary

Dalyite, K2ZrSi6O15, occurs in the ejected syenite blocks of Serra de Agua de Pau (Lagoa do Fogo), São Miguel, Azores, in an assemblage sanidine-arfvedsonite-quartz-aegirine-fayalite-astrophyllite-dalyite-pyrrhite. Other blocks from the same locality contain biotite-zircon in place of astrophyllite-dalyite. A comparison made between the chemistry of one specimen of each type indicates that they may be related by paraeutectoid fractional crystallization.
