A microporous zeolite mineral commonly used in water treatment, soil improvement, and as a natural adsorbent.
From Greek chabas, an ancient name for the mineral; the -ite suffix indicates a mineral; also spelled chabasite or chabasie.
Chabazite is found in volcanic rocks and was so useful in ancient times that nobody needed to study it—now it's a key material in fighting environmental pollution.
