Chabazite is a zeolite mineral distinguished by its distinctive crystal structure. It is a hydrous mineral composed of calcium, potassium, and aluminum silicate. Typically found in volcanic rocks, chabazite forms through hydrothermal alteration processes. This mineral is recognized by its pink, orange, or white hues and is commonly used as a decorative stone. Its crystal lattice features interconnected cages or channels capable of trapping small molecules like water or gases. The dimensions and shapes of these channels vary depending on the particular chabazite variety.
