沸斑岩，又译方沸响岩、方沸斑岩（英语：Blairmorite） 是一种非常罕见的[1]斑状喷出岩，[2]以加拿大艾伯塔省西南部的Blairmore社区命名。[3][4]该矿物以方沸石（英语：Analcime）为主的斑晶、基质矿物为透长石和碱性辉石以及方沸石，辅以榍石，钙铁榴石和霞石组成。沸斑岩是一种长英质的方沸石（foidite）。[5]Blairmorite 也是一种富含方沸石的响岩。[6][7]
Blairmorite| 喷出岩 |
 来自 Crowsnest Formation 的淡方钠岩标本。 琥珀色矿物是方沸石，浅色矿物是 透长石，小的黑色矿物是 钙铁榴石石榴石 |
这种岩石因在世界上独有的两种地质构造中的特性被学界鉴定为喷出岩：在加拿大阿尔伯塔省的Crowsnest层，它与喷发性的集块岩和凝灰共生，而莫桑比克的 Lupata峡谷也有类似的情况。[2]
