Mineralogy and Crystallography of the Sartakht zeolites, SE-Semnan, North of Central Iran

Sartakht zeolite deposit are composed of authigenic clinoptilolite, mordenite smectite and opal-CT. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) examination prove that clinoptilolite as a tabular mineral is associated with opal-CT in a dissolution space. X-ray diffraction studies indicate that this mineral is monoclinic, space group C2/m,a= 17.62Ǻ, b =17.906Ǻ, c =7.395Ǻ, β=116.15°.
