faujasite

faujasite

      hydrated sodium and calcium aluminosilicate mineral that is a rare member of the zeolite family. Faujasite somewhat resembles chabazite in chemical composition, crystal structure, and distribution. Isolated specimens of the mineral have been found in sedimentary rocks in Germany and Switzerland; they take the form of colourless or pale-yellow octahedra with rounded edges, with isometric symmetry. The channels and cavities within the aluminosilicate molecular framework are larger than those in any other natural zeolite, allowing the dehydrated mineral to be penetrated by organic molecules as large as toluene and cyclohexane. The chemical formula of faujasite is as follows: (Na2,Ca,Mg)3.5Al7Si17O48·32H2O.
