A group of silicate minerals, zeolite minerals have well-formed crystals with spaces between molecules. These spaces are able to catch liquid and gasses, therefore the minerals of the zeolite have a number of industrial, agricultural, and home applications. They are often used for soaps and water purification systems.

Healing Properties
Zeolite is believed to be a powerful stone in the practice of Reiki, harmonizing the body's energy and kick-starting physical and emotional healing. Excessive bloating may benefit from zeolite, and it might encourage active toxin removal. The stone's particles are supposedly so tiny that they can infiltrate the body's cells, which is how they remove toxic components.
Usage
The zeolite is a family of minerals that are interesting because they expand and fuse when water is added, and they lose water quickly. These properties make them useful commercially for water softeners, cat litter, and catalysts. Zeolite is also used in the nuclear industry to extract radioactive ions from the waste produced by nuclear plants.
