Abstract

X-ray powder data originally published for the zeolite mineral goosecreekite are of poor quality. The new data reported here for material from Norway are compared with powder data calculated from the published structure. The cell is monoclinic (space group P21, Z=2), a=7.422(2) Å, b=17.414(4) Å, c=7.288(2) Å, β=105.43(3)°, V=907.9(3) Å3. F30=32.75(0.023,40).
