Gottardiite is a new high-silica zeolite found in the Jurassic dolentes of Mt. Adamson (Victoria Land, Antarctica). Its unit-cell content is: Na2.5K0.2Mg3.1Ca4.9Al 18.8Si117.2O272·93 H2O. The mineral is orthorhombic with a = 13.698(2), b = 25.213(3), c = 22.660(2) Å, topological symmetry Fmmm and r...
