A variant spelling of chabasite, a microporous mineral of the zeolite family used in water purification and gas separation.
From Greek χάβασις (chabasis); the name comes from an ancient locality; variant spellings reflect historical transliteration inconsistencies.
Zeolites like chabasie are molecular sieves—they have tiny cages that trap specific molecules, making them perfect for filtering everything from cat litter to radioactive waste.
