ZEOLITE

Buried in the ground, this stone benefits agriculture and gardening. A Reiki stone that assists attunement to the energies and symbols. Zeolite enhances the response to the healing.

Zeolites are microporous crystalline solids with well-defined structures. Generally they contain silicon, aluminium and oxygen in their framework and cations, water and/or other molecules wthin their pores. Many occur naturally as minerals, and are extensively mined in many parts of the world. Others are synthetic, and are made commercially for specific uses, or produced by research scientists trying to understand more about their chemistry.

Zeolites contribute to a cleaner, safer environment in a great number of ways. In fact nearly every application of zeolite has been driven by environmental concerns, or plays a significant role in reducing toxic waste and energy consumption.

In powder detergents, zeolites replace harmful phosphate builders, now banned in many parts of the world because of water pollution risks. Catalysts, by definition, make a chemical process more efficient, thus saving energy and indirectly reducing pollution. Moreover, processes can be carried out in fewer steps, miminising unecessary waste and by-products. As solid acids, zeolites reduce the need for corrosive liquid acids, and as redox catalysts and sorbents, they can remove atmospheric pollutants, such as engine exahust gases and ozone-depleting CFCs.

Physical Properties:

Zeolite

Elements: Earth

Usage:

Agriculture, gardening, Reiki, detoxification, goiter, addictions, bloating

Legend:

Zeolites can also be used to separate harmful organics from water, and in removing heavy metal ions, including those produced by nuclear fission, from water.

Occurrence:

Notable occurrences include Etla and San Antonio, Oaxaca, and in the states of San Luis Potosi, Puebla, and Guanajuato.
