Chabazite is a zeolite mineral with a distinctive crystal structure. Chemically, it is a hydrous calcium, potassium, and aluminum silicate. Chabazite typically occurs in volcanic rocks and often forms through hydrothermal alteration. It is most commonly found in shades of pink, orange, or white and is sometimes used as a decorative stone.

Chabazite’s crystal structure is made up of connected cages or channels capable of holding small molecules like water and gases. These channels result from the specific arrangement of tetrahedral and octahedral units within the crystal lattice. The dimensions and shapes of these channels differ depending on the exact variety of chabazite mineral.
