Gonnardite; re-examination of holotype material and discreditation of tetranatrolite [PDF]
American Mineralogist, 1999 Gonnardite is a fibrous zeolite. Its chemical variability and the frequent close association with thomsonite and other zeolites have made the chemical and crystal structural definition of the mineral difficult. Only recently was the structural relationship to natrolite confirmed unambiguously by single crystal X-ray diffractometry. The present chemical
