[edit] Diagrams?

Just a friendly suggestion to the editors. It's not entirely clear what these structures look like from the written descriptions. Diagrams would be helpful. MAzari 03:28, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Analcime

Analcime appears twice. As part of the Feldspathoid group and as a stand alone mineral in the Tectosilicates subclass. Which one should be deleted? Avihu (talk) 10:32, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Removed from the feldspathoid group. The classification was originally set up following the Hurlbut and Klein reference which lists analcime separately. I note that the online refs include it in the zeolite group as the analcime article says (with qualification). Vsmith (talk) 14:08, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
