Indicative properties of lazurite as a member of clathrasil mineral family

Microporous aluminosilicate minerals are considered as natural traps for molecules of fluid phases occurring in structural channels and cages of SiO Al framework. They may be considered as peculiar sensors. In recent years such informative methods of investigation as Raman and IR spectroscopy, chro mato mass spectrometry, and others allowing to study the composition of captured molecules and ions were intensely developed and applied in geochemistry.
