Zeolite exhibited in the Estonian Museum of Natural History. Zeolite is a group of several microporous, crystalline aluminosilicate minerals commonly used as commercial adsorbents and catalysts. [1] They mainly consist of silicon, aluminium, oxygen, and have the general formula M n+ 1/n (AlO 2) − (SiO 2) x ･y H 2 O where M n+ 1/n is either ...
Faujasite (FAU-type zeolite) is a mineral group in the zeolite family of silicate minerals.The group consists of faujasite-Na, faujasite-Mg and faujasite-Ca. They all share the same basic formula (Na 2,Ca,Mg) 3.5 [Al 7 Si 17 O 48]·32(H 2 O) by varying the amounts of sodium, magnesium and calcium. [1]
Clinoptilolite is a natural zeolite composed of a microporous arrangement of silica and alumina tetrahedra. It has the complex formula (Na,K,Ca) 2–3 Al 3 (Al,Si) 2 Si 13 O 36 •12H 2 O. It forms as white, green to reddish tabular monoclinic tectosilicate crystals with a Mohs hardness of 3.5 to 4 and a specific gravity of 2.1 to 2.2.
Natrolite is a tectosilicate mineral species belonging to the zeolite group. It is a hydrated sodium and aluminium silicate with the formula Na 2 Al 2 Si 3 O 10 ·2H 2 O. [4] The type locality is Hohentwiel, Hegau, Germany. [3] It was named natrolite by Martin Heinrich Klaproth in 1803. [3]

Pollucite is a zeolite mineral with the formula (Cs,Na) 2 Al 2 Si 4 O 12 ·2H 2 O with iron, calcium, rubidium and potassium as common substituting elements. It is important as a significant ore of caesium and sometimes rubidium. It forms a solid solution series with analcime.
Stilbite is the name of a series of tectosilicate minerals of the zeolite group. Prior to 1997, stilbite was recognized as a mineral species, but a reclassification in 1997 by the International Mineralogical Association changed it to a series name, with the mineral species being named:
Thomsonite is the name of a series of tecto-silicate minerals of the zeolite group. Prior to 1997, thomsonite was recognized as a mineral species, but a reclassification in 1997 by the International Mineralogical Association changed it to a series name, with the mineral species being named thomsonite-Ca and thomsonite-Sr. Thomsonite-Ca, by far the more common of the two, is a hydrous sodium ...
