Zeolites Have Many Uses September 8th, 2009
Zeolites are members of the aluminosilicate family. Most mineral collectors have examples of them in their collections. They are found in most geologic type environments on most of the continents of the world. This vast variety of sources demonstrates that zeolites are much more than rare, prized collectible minerals. They are one of the more abundant mineralogical species on the earth. Zeolites have their beauty at the atomic level as well as in the crystalline forms. To date, more than 90 zeolite and zeotype structural frameworks have been fully characterized. These structures have many industrial uses.
