The tetragonal and monoclinic polytypes of tschernichite (the natural counterpart of zeolite beta) from Mt. Adamson (Antarctica) were isolated and studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction using a diffractometer equipped with a CCD detector. Diffraction patterns were interpreted with the help of t...
