Alberti (1986) showed with work on other zeolites that such angles may be an indication that the crystal really has lower symmetry. The framework is disordered with respect to the Si,Al distribution, typical of high silica zeolites.

In a review of the crystal chemistry of cowlesite Vezzalini et al. (1992) reanalyzed the samples in the original description by Wise and Tschernich (1975) and new ones from many Northern Ireland localities. A selection of analyses are presented in Deer et al. (2004). The striking feature of all the analytical data is the constancy of the cowlesite composition.

The compositional range of analcime can be expressed with the generalized formula: |Na 16-x (H 2 O) 16+x | [Al 16-x Si 32+x O 96], in which x varies between -3.4 and +4.3. Representative analyses are given in Deer et al. (2004, table 24). The main compositional variation is in the Si/Al of the framework with the necessary adjustments of Na for …

The zeolite zone, affecting mostly pillow lavas, is divided into three subzones with the key minerals, chabazite, laumontite, and wairakite, respectively. Assemblages of the wairakite subzone are chlorite+wairakite+analcime+thomsonite, chlorite+wairakite+thomsonite+albite, chlorite+wairakite+pumpellyite+albite, and chlorite+wairakite+albite+quartz.

Following the discovery of tetragonal natrolite (Krogh Andersen et al., 1969), which was hypothesized to have a disordered framework (Pabst, 1971), the refinement of the structure of several other samples of natrolite showed them to be partially disordered (Alberti and Vezzalini, 1981).One way the degree of ordering is estimated uses the difference …

Direnzoite grew in cavities with other zeolites (mordenite, phillipsite, merlinoite, erionite, analcime, and chabazite) in addition to calcite and aragonite, all resulting from late stage alteration of the host rocks.

A review of structural work on Linde X and Linde Y, on ion-exchanged faujasite, and on ion-exchanged and dehydrated was provided by Smith (1988). Properties of natural and synthetic faujasite were discussed by Stamires (1973). Faujasite corresponds to the most open framework of all natural zeolites.

Laumontite composition deviates little from the formula | Ca 4 (H 2 O) 18 | [Al 8 Si 16 O 48] both in the Si,Al content of the framework and the cation content of the channels. Most analyses show small amounts of Na and K, while Mg and Sr replacement for Ca is minor.

Even though it is isostructural with analcime, leucite has not been considered a zeolite, because it is an igneous mineral, contains no H 2 O molecules, and has very limited solid solution with other members of the structural group. However, after revising and expanding the IMA definition of zeolite Coombs et al. (1997) included leucite in this ...
