Clinoptilolite is a natural zeolite composed of a microporous arrangement of silica and alumina tetrahedra. It has the complex formula 2–3Al32Si13O36•12H2O. It forms as white, green to reddish tabular

…within the structure. Therefore, the pores in many zeolites are not cylindrical. Some of the more common mineral zeolites are analcime, chabazite, clinoptilolite, heulandite, natrolite, phillipsite, and stilbite. An example of the mineral formula of a zeolite is: Na2Al2Si3O10·2H2O, the formula for natrolite…
