WHAT DOES MESOLITE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Mesolite

Mesolite is a tectosilicate mineral with formula Na2Ca23·8H2O. It is a member of the zeolite group and is closely related to natrolite which it also resembles in appearance. Mesolite crystallizes in the orthorhombic system and typically forms fibrous, acicular prismatic crystals or masses. Radiating sprays of needlelike crystals are not uncommon. It is vitreous in luster and clear to white in color. It has a Mohs hardness of 5 to 5.5 and a low specific gravity of 2.2 to 2.4. The refractive indices are nα=1.505 nβ=1.505 nγ=1.506.

Definition of mesolite in the English dictionary

The definition of mesolite in the dictionary is a zeolite, Na2Ca2Al6Si9O30.8H2O, occurring as fibrous or needlelike crystals.

New Developments in Zeolite Science and Technology

In the polarizing microscope, the mesolite and natrolite are easily distinguishable by their different optical properties. Mesolite exhibits very low interference color ( lst—order dark grey), and thus, its fibers often appear to be nearly isotropic.
