Chabazite crystals in quartz. Chabazite (orange) is calcium aluminium silicate and a member of the large group of minerals known as zeolites. It typically forms orange or colourless crystals with a characteristic rhombus shape. Quartz (silicon dioxide) is the most abundant mineral in the Earth's continental crust. It is made up of a lattice of silica (SiO2) tetrahedra,and forms hexagonal crystals,as seen here. This specimen is from Paterson,New Jersey,USA | |
