Alphabetical List Tree DiagramDetailed Mineral List:
| ⓘ Aragonite Formula: CaCO3 Description: Crystals up to 5mm. |
| ⓘ Calcite Formula: CaCO3 |
| ⓘ 'Lévyne' |
| ⓘ Lévyne-Ca ? Formula: (Ca,Na2,K2)[Al2Si4O12] · 6H2O |
| ⓘ Motukoreaite Formula: Mg6Al3(OH)18[Na(H2O)6][SO4]2 · 6H2O Habit: rosettes consisting of platy crystals Description: SEM-EDS and XRD analyses performed by Joy Desor.
XRD results showed a few unidentified peaks; it is, therefore, more than likely that there is a second phase present.
The analyses also showed that MgO was low and S was high. Zamarreño et al. (1989) proved that in Motukoreaite, the concentration of sulfate ions varies between 9 and 18%, and that part of the sulfate ions can be replaced by carbonate ions. References: |
| ⓘ Natrolite Formula: Na2Al2Si3O10 · 2H2O |
| ⓘ 'Thomsonite Subgroup' |
