Mineral Facts
Heulandite has a sheet-like open framework structure and is classified as a tectosilicate. Its structure is made up of interconnected six-membered rings of silicate tetrahedra, which create channels within the crystal. These channels allow heulandite to function as a zeolite, capable of exchanging cations such as sodium, calcium, and potassium within its structure.
