Chabazite is a zeolite mineral known for its unique 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 commonly recognized by its pink, orange, or white coloration and is sometimes used as a decorative stone.

The crystal framework of chabazite is a network of linked cages and tunnels built to snatch small molecules like water and gases. These passages emerge from a bold arrangement of tetrahedral and octahedral units woven into the lattice. Their size and shape shift dramatically with each distinct chabazite mineral variety.
