Chabazite is a fascinating zeolite mineral composed of hydrous calcium, potassium, and aluminum silicate. Known for its unique crystalline structure formed through volcanic hydrothermal alteration, this specimen displays characteristic pink, orange, or white coloring. Sourced from volcanic rock formations, Chabazite's geometric patterns and natural beauty make it an excellent decorative piece and valuable addition to mineral collections. Each specimen showcases the unique geological processes that create these distinctive crystals.
The crystal structure of chabazite consists of interconnected cages or channels that can trap small molecules such as water or gases. These channels are formed by the arrangement of tetrahedral and octahedral units in the crystal lattice. The size and shape of these channels can vary depending on the specific type of chabazite mineral.
