Non-identity of the Zeolites Erionite and Offretite

Nature volume 214, pages 1005–1006 (1967)Cite this article

Abstract

THE structure of the aluminosilicate frame of erionite was proposed and tested by Staples and Gard1. Hey and Fejer2 have stated that X-ray powder photographs of offretite from Mt. Simiouse, Montbrison, Loire, France3,4, were identical with those of erionite from Durkee, Oregon5,6. They claim that the name offretite has priority over erionite.
