Natrolite

Q: What is Natrolite made of?

Natrolite has the chemical formula Na₂Al₂Si₃O₁₀·2H₂O, crystallises in the orthorhombic system and measures 5 – 5.5 (Mohs) on the Mohs scale. Natrolite is a sodium-rich zeolite that crystallizes in slender orthorhombic prisms, often forming radiating sprays in the vesicles of basaltic and nepheline-syenite rocks. Its open aluminosilicate framework contains channels of loosely bound water and exchangeable sodium ions.
