A type of microporous mineral or zeolite used in industrial applications like filtering, separating gases, and absorbing liquids.
Named after the French mineralogist Barthélemy Faujas de Saint-Fond who studied volcanic rocks in the late 18th century, with the mineral suffix '-ite' added to create the mineralogical name.
Faujasite is one of those incredible industrial minerals with tiny pores so small and organized that they can separate molecules—it's used in everything from coffee filters to oxygen concentrators, and it's basically nature's perfect sieve.
