I'd like to ask some questions on vernacular as well:What are 'vugs' and 'zap pits'? These are some types of small
holes I guess, but what are they?--

HI Jim:
Vugs are small cavities, usually lined with crystals of a different
composition than that of the host material. These are different from
vesicles which are crystal-lined cavities in igneous rocks.
The crystals can be the ame composition as the host material. I have
never heard of "zap-pits", I guess they are the same?
