The recently published experimental elastic constants [C. Sanchez-Valle, S. V. Sinogeikin, Z. A. Lethbridge, R. I. Walton, C. W. Smith, K. E. Evans, and J. D. Bass, J. Appl. Phys. 98, 053508 (2005)] for single crystals of the orthorhombic aluminosilicate zeolite NAT (natrolite, Na-2(Al2Si3O10)2H(2)O, Fdd2) throw valuable light on the potential of NAT as a material which exhibits single crystalline negative Poisson's ratios (auxetic). On performing an off-axis analysis of these elastic constants we confirm that the zeolite natrolite exhibits auxetic behavior in the (001) plane. This supports our preliminary report that NAT-type zeolites exhibit auxetic behavior through a mechanism involving microscopic rotation of semi-rigid structural units.
