Ze"o*lite (?), n. [Gr. &?; to boil +
-lite: cf. F. zéolithe.] (Min.) A
term now used to designate any one of a family of minerals, hydrous
silicates of alumina, with lime, soda, potash, or rarely baryta. Here
are included natrolite, stilbite, analcime, chabazite, thomsonite,
heulandite, and others. These species occur of secondary origin in the
