The increased usage and exploitation of non-metals as a substitute for exploitation and processing of
metals, is a trend in the world. Mechanical properties of the material are requisite for determining its
application in civil engineering. This paper presents the strength characteristics of the zeolite, obtained
from the Strmosh Mine, as well as its capability of water absorption. The procedure, as well as the
results of the performed testing of the material are elaborated and presented, followed by a discussion
about the obtained values
