What Is Zeolite Made Of?

Zeolite is a natural mineral created many years ago by volcanic ash falling into an alkaline water source and being put under pressure.

This pressure combination resulted in a three dimensional framework structure of silica-oxygen tetrahedra. The crystal framework is in a honeycomb network with pores and is one of the rare minerals that possess a natural negative charge.

The combination of the honeycomb structure and the net negative charge allows zeolite to both absorb liquids and adsorb compounds.

The negative charge is balanced with cations such as calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium. These cations can be exchanged. Learn more here - https://www.bpmnz.co.nz/en/minerals/zeolite/
