Chabazite (UK: /ˈkæbəzaɪt/)[3] is a tectosilicate mineral of the zeolite group,[4] closely related to gmelinite, with the chemical formula (Ca,K2,Na2,Mg)Al2Si4O12•6H2O.
Recognized varieties include Chabazite-Ca, Chabazite-K, Chabazite-Na, and Chabazite-Sr, depending on the prominence of the indicated cation.
They may be colorless, white, orange, brown, pink, green, or yellow.
Chabazite occurs most commonly in voids and amygdules in basaltic rocks.
Chabazite is found in India, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, the Giants Causeway in Northern Ireland, Bohemia, Italy, Germany, along the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia, Oregon, Arizona, and New Jersey.
