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.
It was named chabasie in 1792 by Bosc d'Antic and later changed to the current spelling.
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.
