TITLE: Stilbite GDS8 Zeolite DESCRIPT
DOCUMENTATION_FORMAT: MINERAL
SAMPLE_ID: GDS8

MINERAL: Stilbite (Zeolite group)
FORMULA: NaCa2Al5Si13O36*14H2O
FORMULA_HTML: NaCa2Al5Si13O36•14H2O
COLLECTION_LOCALITY: Nasik, India

CURRENT_SAMPLE_LOCATION: USGS Denver Spectroscopy Laboratory
ULTIMATE_SAMPLE_LOCATION: USGS Denver Spectroscopy Laboratory
SAMPLE_DESCRIPTION:
The sample appears white and to be spectrally pure.
IMAGE_OF_SAMPLE:
END_SAMPLE_DESCRIPTION.
XRD_ANALYSIS:
Primarily a zeolite of the heulandite group - best match is stellerite, but this isn't definitive
Konnert, Judith and Marta Flohr, 1992, unpublished data, USGS Reston, VA.
Stilbite is also a member of the heulandite group.
40 kV - 30 mA, 6.5-9.5 keV
File: stilbite.out, -.mdi
References: JCPDS #24-894
Found: Stilbite
Comment: Very well crystallized phase. Expected to observe the (-201)
reflection, but did not. Did observe some unexpected peak splitting
not shown in the JCPDS listing. JCPDS listing does not exceed 35.8 degrees
2 theta for CuK alpha, so any additional phase having reflections only above
35.8 degrees could not be detected without further work. Stilbite has
fibrous habit; this material is granular.
