Zeolite

Zeolite xx (presumably natrolite) from the plateau basalts in east Greenland (southern Soresby Sund)

Zeolites are microporous, aluminosilicate minerals commonly used as commercial adsorbents and catalysts (most of the catalysts use the zeolite as a powder, either as its natural composition or as a raw reactive, like the copper-dopped zeolite). Zeolites occur naturally but are also produced industrially on a large scale.
