Among rock-forming minerals, the zeolite group is large and
widespread, and is enormously important to industry. Zeolites form
excellent crystals. The group is structurally complex and notable
for its ability to exchange cations with surrounding solutions.
Numerous diagrams help visualize important structural features that
define various framework types. Over 200 photographs of these
beautiful minerals show each species in its geological context.
After a brief introduction, the general treatment of the subject
begins with an explanation of the structural chemistry and taxonomy
of the group. A section on their formation and geochemistry
explains the kinds of environments where zeolites are formed. Then,
an entry for each mineral series provides locality information and
full-color photos wherever possible so that collectors can see what
good specimens look like and which minerals one might expect to
find in association with them. An extensive bibliography is
provided for readers who wish to learn more about particular
topics.
