Decrepitation can be quite intense. The Bou Jaber mine (Tunisia)
sample
formed at low temperatures, near 100 C whereas the Roseval sample from
Timmins, Ontario, is associated with a massive quartz blow, mined for
silica.
The decrepitation does not reflect the expected temperature difference
between these two occurrences.
