Formula:
(Na,Ca)2(Si,Al)5O10 · 3H2O
System:
Orthorhombic

Name:
For French mineralogist Ferdinand Gonnard (1833-1923).
Zeolite Group. Natrolite Subgroup.
Most gonnardites have a disordered natrolite framework.

The compositions of and structural relationships between gonnardite and tetranatrolite remain controversial (Artioli and Galli 1999; Evans et al. 2000; Ross et al. 1992; Lee et al. 2006).
