The IMA now recognizes chabazite as a group name with members Chabazite-Ca, Chabazite-K, Chabazite-Mg, Chabazite-Na, Chabazite-Sr. I have not attempted to differentiate the specific chabazite species in this site. The Joppa Hill quantitative analysis below strongly suggests it is the chabazite-Ca species.
CHABAZITE Ellacoya Locale, Gilford, NH 10 mm cluster of milky, rhombic, chabazite crystals. Largest is 4 mm.	Species: CHABAZITE Locality: Ellacoya Locale, Gilford, NH Specimen Size: 10 mm cluster of milky, rhombic, chabazite crystals. Largest is 4 mm. Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Catalog No.: u1131 Notes: Rhombic shape and luster of these crystals is characteristic of chabazite. EDS analysis of similar crystals from the Ellacoya locale indicates the species is chabazite: (Ca,K₂,Na₂)₂[Al₂Si₄O₁₂]₂ · 12H₂O
CHABAZITE Ellacoya Locale, Gilford, NH Largest crystal is 1.4 mm.	Species: CHABAZITE Locality: Ellacoya Locale, Gilford, NH Specimen Size: Largest crystal is 1.4 mm. Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Catalog No.: Notes:
CHABAZITE Mine Falls Park, Nashua, NH 9 mm field of view	Species: CHABAZITE K₂NaCa_0.5(Al₄Si₈O₂₄) · 11.5H₂O Locality: Mine Falls Park, Nashua, NH Specimen Size: 9 mm field of view Field Collected: Scott Whittemore Catalog No.: u071 Notes:
CHABAZITE Mine Falls Park, Nashua, NH 8 mm field of view. Chabazite on stilbite.	Species: CHABAZITE Locality: Mine Falls Park, Nashua, NH Specimen Size: 8 mm field of view. Chabazite on stilbite. Field Collected: Scott Whittemore Catalog No.: u020 Notes:
CHABIZITE var. Phacolite Pike Wilton Quarry, Wilton, NH 5 mm chabazite crystal CHABAZITE var. Phacolite Pike-Wilton Quarry, Wilton, NH 5 mm chabazite crystal	Species: CHABIZITE var. Phacolite Locality: Pike Wilton Quarry, Wilton, NH Specimen Size: 5 mm chabazite crystal. two views Field Collected: Tom Mortimer - 2014 (Authorized visit) Catalog No.: u1490 Notes: These were found in a thin epidote vein in a diorite rock. Heulandite crystals were also present.
CHABIZITE var. Phacolite Pike Wilton Quarry, Wilton, NH 5 mm chabazite crystal	Species: CHABIZITE var. Phacolite Locality: Pike Wilton Quarry, Wilton, NH Specimen Size: 5 mm chabazite crystal Field Collected: Tom Mortimer - 2014 (Authorized visit) Catalog No.: u1490 Notes: These were found in a thin epidote vein in a diorite rock. Heulandite crystals were also present.
CHABAZITE Joppa Hill Locale, Amherst, NH 4 mm field of view. Cluster of blocky chabazite-(Ca) crystals with dendritic patterns on surface.	Species: CHABAZITE Locality: Joppa Hill Locale, Amherst, NH Specimen Size: 4 mm field of view. Cluster of blocky chabazite-(Ca) crystals with dendritic patterns on surface. Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Catalog No.: u484 Notes: A polished grain EDS analysis was consistant with a chabazite-(Ca) identification, (the large spectral peak below oxygen is due to the carbon coating of the sample). This is the first report of chabazite at the Joppa Hill Locale. It is unknown how common the occurrence chabazite is in a skarn environment. The small cluster of acicular crystals in the lower left may be another zeolite species.
CHABAZITE Joppa Hill Locale, Amherst, NH 4 mm field of view. Cluster of blocky chabazite-(Ca) crystals with dendritic patterns on surface.	Species: CHABAZITE Locality: Joppa Hill Locale, Amherst, NH Specimen Size: 4 mm field of view. Cluster of blocky chabazite-(Ca) crystals with dendritic patterns on surface. Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Catalog No.: u489 Notes: Thin, short prismatic, zoisite crystals are present on most of the specimens with chabazite, along with the common Joppa Hill minerals grossular and diopside. The green mineral appears to be a mica group species.
CHABAZITE Pike Industries Quarry, Beech Hill, Carroll, NH 2 mm chabazite crystals.	Species: CHABAZITE Locality: Pike Industries Quarry, Beech Hill, Carroll, NH Specimen Size: 2 mm chabazite crystals. Field Collected: Woody Thompson - Oct. 2012 Catalog No.: 1436 Notes:
CHABAZITE Pike Quarry, Beech Hill, Carroll, NH 2.5 mm field of view	Species: CHABAZITE Locality: Pike Quarry, Beech Hill, Carroll, NH Specimen Size: 2.5 mm field of view Field Collected: Bob Wilken 5/16 Catalog No.: TBC Notes: Green mineral is epidote, black mineral is magnetite
