The crystal structure of the chabazite K with the formula (K{sub 1.33}Na{sub 1.02}Ca{sub 0.84})[Al{sub 4}Si{sub 8}O{sub 24}] {center_dot} 12.17H{sub 2}O from late hydrothermalites in the Khibiny alkaline massif (Kola Peninsula) is established by X-ray diffraction analysis (CAD4 four-circle diffractometer, {lambda}MoK{sub {alpha}} radiation, graphite monochromator, T = 193 K, 2{theta}{sub max} = 70 deg., R{sub 1} = 0.047 for 4745 reflections) on the basis of experimental data (6265 reflections) obtained from a twin (twinning parameter 0.535(1)): a = 13.831(3) A, c = 15.023(5) A, sp. gr. R3-barm, Z = 3, {rho}{sub calcd} = 2.016 g/cm{sup 3} . It is shown that cations occupy five independent positions in large cavities of the tetrahedral Al,Si,O anionic framework in potassium-rich chabazite. A comparative crystallochemical analysis of chabazites of different composition and origin is performed.
