Zeolites have other highly characteristic features
developedto varying degrees,notably the potential
for reversiblelow-temperaturedehydration,the ability
of the dehydrated forms to reversibly absorb otler
molecules,a tendencytoward more or less easylowtemperatureexchangeof extra-frameworkcations,and
a lack of clear-cut, structu(ally controlled constraints
on end-membercompositionsin terms of Si : Al ratios
within the framework. In somecases,observedextraframework compositions may be artefacts of cation
exchangeresultingfrom humanactivitiesin the laboratory or elsewhere,and firrtlermore, tle compositions
are not convenienflydeterminedby traditional optical
metiods. Perhapsfor a combination of suchreasons,
separatenameshavebeenglven to few zeoliteson the
basis of the dominant extra-framework cation in
solid-solution series. This conflicts with standard
practicein most mineral groupsand with guidelinesof
the Commissionon New Minerals andMineral Names
(CNMMN) (Nickel &Mandarino 1987).
With intensification of research and tlre advent
of the electron microprobe, a flood of information
on compositions has become available, and with
automated single-crystal X-ray diffractometers atrd
otler developments,many complexitieshave been
investigated,including order-disorderrelationshipsin
the frameworks and associatedchangesin unit-cell
paxameters and symmetry. Thus in the case of
analcime,Mazzi & Galli (1978),Te,ertsfraetal. (1994),
and otlers have demonstrateda wide range of spacegroup symmetries associatedwith different patterns
of order in tle framework and possible displacive
transformations. Sites of extra-framework cations
are commonly less well defined in an open, zeolitic
structuretlan in most other minerals,and arevariably
occupied.Guidelinesallowing recognition of separate
speciesdependingon the dominantion occupyingeach
structural site are thus compromised in the case of
extra-frameworksitesin zeolites.Furthermore,changes
in the occupancyof suchsitescandistortthe framework
to varying degrees,changingthe space-group
symmetry.
Some minerals meet traditional criteria for
zeolitesin all respectsexceptthat they containR Be, or
other elementsin tetrahedral sites, witl consequent
departurefrom the requirementof Hey (1930) that O :

displaying zeolitic properties depart from traditional
requirementsfor a zeolitein having a franework that is
intemrpted by some (OH) groups. An example is
parth6ite,fistedby Gottardi& Galli (1985)as azsoTitp.

The recommendations of an IMA CNMMN
subcommitteeset up to review zeolite nomenclature
are set out below. Theserecommendationshave been
adoptedby the Commission.
DtrnmIoN oF A ZEoIxrEMINERAL
In arriving at its working definition of a zeolite,
1ls gufssmmittee took the view that zeolitesin the
historical na4 mineralogical sense are naturally
occurring minerals, irrespectiveof how the term may
be appliedto syntheticmaterialsand in industry.In the
light of advances in mineralogy, the Hey (1930)
definition is found to be too restictive. The Subcommittee gave particular considerationto the following
questions.Is more that 5OVosubstitution of elements
other than Si andAl permissiblein tetrahedralsites?Is
tle presenceof HzO and of extra-framework cations
absolutely essential?Can'ointemrptedo'framework
structuresqualify as zeolite minerals?Thesematters
are furtler discussedinAppendix 1.
Definition
A zeolite mineral is a crystalline substancewith a
structure characterized by a framework of linked
tetrahedra,eachconsistingoffour O atomssurrowtding
a cation. Thisframework containsopencavities in thc
form of channelsand cages.Theseare u.suallyoccupied
by H2O rnoleculesand.extra-framework cations that
are commonlyexchangeable.The channelsare large
enough to allow the passageof guest species.In the
hydrated.phases,dehydration occurs at temperatures
rnost$ below about 400oCand is largely reversible.
Thef'ram.eworkmay be interru.ptedby (OH,F) groups;
theseoccupya tetrahedronapexthat is not sharedwith
adjacent tetrahedro.
Applicationof the defi.nition(seealsoAppendix1)
Relatively easy exchange of extra-framework
cationsat relatively low temperatureis a characteristic
feature of zeolites and zeolitic behavior, but varies
greatly from speciesto species.Its extent does not
providea convenientbasisfor the definition of zeolites.
In practice, it appears that channels must have a
minimum width greaterthan that of 6-memberedrings
(i.a.,rings consistingof six tetrahedra)in orderto allow
zeolitic behaviorat normal temperaturesandpressures.
Framework structuressuchas in feldspars,nepheline,
sodalites,scapolites,melanophlogite,and probably
leifite, in which any channelsaretoo resticted to allow
typical zeolitic behaviorsuchasreversibledehydration,
molecularsieving,or cationexchange,arenot rggarded
as zeolites.
Framework densify, defined as the number of
tetrahedralsites in 1000 43, was used as tle criterion
for inclusion inthe Atlas of Zeolite Structure Ilpes

TT{E CANADIAN
@Iereret aL 1996).However,this criterion providesno
evidencethat the channelsnecessaryfor diffitsion are
present,as well as cages,and it has not been adopted
in the presentdefinition.
In some minerals witl a tetrahedral framework
sfructureandotherzeolitic characteristicsasdescribed,
namely parth6ite, roggianite, maricopaite, and
chiavennite,one apex of sometetrahedrais occupied
by an (OH) group or F atom insteadof being occupied
by an O atom. This (OH) group or F atom does not
form a bridge with an adjacent tetrahedron. The
framework is tlus intemrpted. Suchminerals are here
acceptedas zeolites.
In terms of the definition adopted,minerals of the
cancrinitegroupcanarguablybe consideredaszeolites.
This group has long been regardedby many or most
mineralogistsas distinct from tle zeolites, in part, at
least, becauseof the presenceof large volatile anions
(e.9., Hassan 1997). They are not reviewed in the
presentreport.3a1trs1similarly, wenkite containslarge
cagesand channels,but theseare blocked by SOa,C4
and Ba ions (Wenk 1973,Merlino 1974),inhibiting
zeolitic behavior. In addition, no water is lost below
500oC.Wenkiteis not includedasa zeolitein this report.
Leucite has seldombeenregardedas a zeolite, asit
does not display a full range of zeolitic behavior.
Nevertheless. it has the same framework structure
as analcime and conforms to the adopteddefinition.
Ammonioleucite can be regarded as an analcime

exchange, and may have formed naturally by

Application ofthe rule
If a new topologically distinctive framework arises
from overhydration or partial dehydration, separate

Leonhardite, a partially and in most casesreversibly

Adoption of a Levinson-style system of suffixes
avoids the proliferation of a large numberof new and
potentially unrelatedspeciesnames,and ensuresthat
all membersof a topologically identical compositional
seriesare indexedtogether.It has the great advantage
that where adequatechemicaldataare not required or
arenot available,a mineral canbe referredto correctly
by an unambiguousseriesname.The systemadopted
here is witlout the brackets (parentheses)used by
Levinson (1966) in suffixes for rare-earthminerals.
Substantial amounts of extra-framework cations
otler than the dominant one may be indicated, if
desired, by the use of adjectives such as calcian and
sodianne.g., calcian clinoptilolite-K. Such adjectival
modifiers are not part of the formal nameof a species.
Informal useis oftenmadeof descriptivetermssuch
as calcium chabaziteand Ca cbabazite,in which the
name or symbol of an elementis usedadjectivally. In
conformity with generalIMA guidelines,theseshould
not appearin print as mineral namesor in hyphenated
form. The correct narnefor tle mineral speciesin this
caseis chabazite-Ca.Termssuchas sodium-substituted
chabazite-Caare suggestedfor what in effect would be
a syntheticchabazite-Napreparedby cation exchange
from chabazite-Ca.Chabaziteremainsthe correctname

Also given in the fust line of each entry is tle
structure-type code allocated by the Structure
Commission of the International Zeolite Association
(ZA) and listed in Meier et al. (L996). The code
consists of tlree capital letters. A preceding hyphen
indicatesan intemrptedframework of tetrahedra.
The second line of each relevant entry starts
with the odginalreferencein whichthe currentnane of
the mineral, or a nearvariant of tlat name,is given,
followed by the type locality, or, in the caseof descriptions that predate the concept of type localities, the
generalregion of origin of tle material on which the
nameand original descriptionare based,rrhere this is
known. The locality is followed by a note on the
derivation of the name.Further information on these
mattersis given by Gottardi & Galli (1985), Clark
(1993), and Blackburn & Dennen(1997), but in some
casestle information is hererevised.
Next is given inforrnation on tle currenfly known
rangein compositionof the mineral concerned.This
includesknown values,or rumgeof values,for \i, the
proportion of tetrahedronsites occupiedby Si atoms,
asreportedin publishedresultsof acceptableanalyses.
For many zeolites, this value varies widely, and the
valuesreportedmay not indicatethe firll rangepossible,
especiallyin the caseof the rarer zeolites.
Much information on zeolite compositions was
givenby Gottardi& Galli (1985).Thepresentcompilation
incorporatesresultsoffurther extensivesearchesofthe
literature. A widely usedcriterion for acceptabilityof
zeolite compositionsis that the value of the balanceerror function of Passaglia(1970)
both Fez*and Fd+ may enter the structures of some
zeolites in extra-framework or framework sites, or
both.
Space-group symmetry and crystallographic
parametersfollow. Many acceptedzeolite speciesexist
with more than oneknown space-groupsymmetry,and
these are listed. Variations in space-gtoupsymmetry
andvariationsin order-disorderrelationshipof framework cationsare not in themselvesadequateevidence
for establishingnew species(Rule 2). Cell parameters
given are as reported for material specified in key
references.Cell dimensionsof many speciesvary
widely as a result of variablecomposifions,variable
extent of order, and differing levels of hydration.
Except for a few newly describedspecies,details of
structure,including size and orientation of channels,
can be obtainedfor eachstructuretype from Meier et
aL (1996)andarediscussedin Gottardi& Galli (1985).
The acceptedseriesand speciesare as follows:
shouldbe less than l07o, a figure that is itself arguably
excessive.The calculation of.EVomay be modified to
allow for other suspectedcations,suchasFeA andCs*.
The role of Fe causesproblems that may not be
resolvable.SomeFe reportedin zeolitesis undoubtedly
a contaminant, but there are reasonsto suspectthat
