Abstract

THE structure of the aluminosilicate frame of erionite was proposed and tested by Staples and Gard1. Hey and Fejer2 have stated that X-ray powder photographs of offretite from Mt. Simiouse, Montbrison, Loire, France3,4, were identical with those of erionite from Durkee, Oregon5,6. They claim that the name offretite has priority over erionite.
