Clinoptilolite




Clinoptilolite
Clinoptilolite was described in 1969 from Owl Canyon, San Bernardino, California.  That is a relatively late date for a mineral to be first decribed.

The sample above comes from Augoura, Los Angeles Co., California.  It is used in fertilizer and deodorant.

Clinoptilolite
It has an ion exchange affinity making it favored my scientists.  It especially exchanges easily with Ammonium.
