Merlinoite(K)

Formula : K1.04Al1.04Si1.96O6:1.69H2O

Family: 
Space group: 
Orthorhombic - Dipyramidal HM symbol (2/m 2/m 2/m) Space Group: I mmm
Dana class: 
77.1.3.11VIII- 77 Tektosilicates Tectosilicate Zeolite group ; 77.1 Tektosilicates Tectosilicate Zeolite group true zeolites ; 77.1.3 Gismondine and related species
High temperature: 
The structure of zeolite are very responsive in temperature and/or water-vapor pressure. Some "robust" zeolites can be heated to high temperatures and can be completely dehydrated while maintaining their original structure.
Geological context: 
Zeolite occurs in a wide range of environments as macroscopic and microscopic crystals. Sedimentary-metamorphic- hydrothermally altered rocks, hydrologic systems, soil environments, gas reservoirs. Occur also as alteration product of cementious materials.
