Levyne or levynite is a zeolite mineral i.e. a hydrated silicate mineral. There are two forms of levyne: Levyne-Na the sodium dominated form (Na2CaK2)Al2Si4O12·6(H2O); and Levyne-Ca the calcium dominated form (CaNa2K2)Al2Si4O12·6(H2O)Levyne crystallizes in the Trigonal – Hexagonal Scalenohedral class. It typically occurs as radiating clusters or fibrous masses that are transparent to translucent in colors ranging from white through reddish and yellowish white to gray.
