| Name: | For its tetragonal symmetry and relation to natrolite. | ||
| Synonym of: | Gonnardite | ||
Zeolite Group. Natrolite Subgroup. The compositions and structural relationshp between gonnardite and tetranatrolite remains controversial (Artioli and Galli 1999; Evans et al. 2000; Ross et al 1992; Lee et al. 2006; Seryotkin & Bakakin, 2007). Tetranatrolite has been discredited in 1999. Tetranatrolite was originally reported from Poudrette quarry (Demix quarry; Uni-Mix quarry; Desourdy quarry), Mont Saint-Hilaire, Rouville Co., Québec, Canada. | |||
