This book, another in the series of Reviews in Mineralogy & Geochemistry, prepared and published jointly by the Mineralogical Society of American and the Geochemical Society, was issued at the end of 2001. It is an update and expansion of MSA. Short course Notes, v. 4, Mineralogy and Geology of Natural Zeolites, issued in 1977. The original nine chapters have been expanded to 18, and the new group of reviewers have a broad international representation, as befits the development of zeolite science over the past 25 years.

The first section consists of five chapters devoted to the mineralogy and geochemistry of natural zeolites. The first chapter, a review of crystal structures of natural zeolites by Armbruster and Gunter, classifies and describes each of the presently known structure types. Drawings are given for the most common zeolites. Chapter 2 on the crystal chemistry of zeolites by Passaglia and Sheppard is a review of the compositional range of each zeolite group or series. Although no analyses are given, the reader is referred to literature . . . [Full Text of this Article]
