Abstract
In 1919 the Postal Rift tube on the floor of Kilauea caldera contained considerable quantities of sulfates as coatings and stalactites. A tube in the 1920 flow in the Kau Desert contained kieserite (hydrated magnesium sulphate), and a prehistoric tube contained gypsum. Finch shows that the sulfates form by precipitation from steam rich in dissolved SO 2 and SO 3 , which acts on the wall and roof rocks lining the tube. The sulfates are later leached out and carried onto the tube lining by descending rain water.
