Chabazite

Chabazite (English pronunciation: /ˈkæbəzaɪt/) is a tectosilicate mineral of the zeolite group, closely related to gmelinite, with formula (Ca,Na2,K2,Mg)Al2Si4O12·6H2O. Recognized varieties include Chabazite-Ca, Chabazite-K, Chabazite-Na, and Chabazite-Sr, depending on the prominence of the indicated cation. It was named chabasie in 1792 by Bosc d'Antic and later changed to the current spelling. Chabazite occurs most commonly in voids and amygdules in basaltic rocks.
