The Properties That Make Zeolite Crystals Highly Valued

By Jennifer Hill


A Zeolite is a natural crystal formed from volcanic ash. It is a naturally occurring mineral formed when volcanic magma and ash meets with seawater. It is the world's only mineral with a naturally-occurring negative charge. It is a natural mineral, and it's safe for human consumption. Zeolite crystals are negatively charged volcanic minerals that naturally attracts positively charged toxins to it.

The minerals can be described as nonporous hydrated aluminosilicates with a three-dimensional framework structure. The linked framework combined with its inherent high porosity gives rise to the Twist Road zeolite having a high absorptive capacity.

There are 2 reasons that Original Zeolite Powder is the only one I trust (thus far). You must first understand that this mineral is mined from the ground, and the properties that help it pick up heavy metals and toxins from your body are also at work in nature. So when this mineral is mined, it already carries a burden of toxins inside.

The company that produces the original powder product has a proprietary method of cleaning the cages that hold heavy metals that they picked up in nature. That means that when you use that particular product, the particles are "activated" to pick up the most toxins from your body that they can possibly carry because they are clean and empty. They also start out using a clean mine that is dedicated to creating supplements, so the quality is much higher starting out.

The particular atomic constructions of zeolites are based upon three-dimensional frameworks of silica and alumina tetrahedra, which are actually, silicon or aluminum ions flanked by 4 oxygen ions placed in a tetrahedral arrangement. Each and every oxygen molecule is fused to another 2 surrounding silicon or aluminum ions, connecting all of them with each other.

The open high porosity structure of the Twist Road zeolite deposit is due to its young age which is approximately 25,000 years old. In comparison, denser crystals from Australia and Greece are 40-50 million years old. These are therefore heavily compacted due to overburden and time for cementing of the mineral grains.

Groups of tetrahedra shape like the box-like polyhedral pieces which are also connected to put together the whole assembly. In various zeolites, the polyhedral versions could possibly be equidimensional, similar to a sheet, or perhaps chainlike. The particular aluminosilicate construction of these crystals features a negative charge that is well balanced through the cations situated inside the cage spaces.

The crystals include a lot more wide open, much less thick constructions as compared to some other silicates; in between 20% and 50 % in the amount of a zeolite, construction is voids. Silicates also have three-dimensional frameworks of tetrahedra are generally classified as tectosilicates. Aside from the zeolites, some other tectosilicates consist of quartz and feldspars.
