Galindoa, A. López-Delgadoa*, I. Padillaa and M. Yatesb aNational Centre for Metallurgical Research, CSIC. Avda./ Gregorio del Amo, 8. 28040 Madrid, Spain bInstitute of Catalysis and Petrochemistry, CSIC. C./ Marie Curie, 2. 28049 Madrid, Spain *Author to whom correspondence should be addressed: [email protected] Abstract Magnesium-aluminium hydrotalcite-like compounds at ratios of 2:1, 3:1 and 4:1 were prepared using a non-conventional aluminium source, the hazardous wastes from the aluminium tertiary industry. The method consisted in a conventional coprecipitation at constant pH 10 with magnesium chloride hexahydrate and stable solutions of Al3+ from dispersions of the fine powder from the sleeve filter suction system in the aluminium slag milling process. Resulting materials were strongly dependent on the presence of iron in the layers, as well as the carbonate-chloride content in the interlayer which affected the final properties. XRD and SAED indicated low crystallinity for these materials. Furthermore, as can be seen by SEM, the formation of disordered tiny nuclei was significant causing small spherical agglomerates. The infrared spectra showed a change of symmetry in the interlayer for the different ratios and the textural data suggested the “ink-bottle shaped” mesopores and type IIb isotherms, similar to the 1 results obtained for pillared clays, and the transition to H2 type in the hysteresis loops as function of the higher ratio.

    MINERALS SORTED BY NAME Here is an alphabetical list of minerals discussed on this site. More information on and photographs of these minerals in Kentucky is available in the book “Rocks and Minerals of Kentucky” (Anderson, 1994). APATITE Crystal system: hexagonal. Fracture: conchoidal. Color: red, brown, white. Hardness: 5.0. Luster: opaque or semitransparent. Specific gravity: 3.1. Apatite, also called cellophane, occurs in peridotites in eastern and western Kentucky. A microcrystalline variety of collophane found in northern Woodford County is dark reddish brown, porous, and occurs in phosphatic beds, lenses, and nodules in the Tanglewood Member of the Lexington Limestone. Some fossils in the Tanglewood Member are coated with phosphate. Beds are generally very thin, but occasionally several feet thick. The Woodford County phosphate beds were mined during the early 1900s near Wallace, Ky. BARITE Crystal system: orthorhombic. Cleavage: often in groups of platy or tabular crystals. Color: usually white, but may be light shades of blue, brown, yellow, or red. Hardness: 3.0 to 3.5. Streak: white. Luster: vitreous to pearly. Specific gravity: 4.5. Tenacity: brittle. Uses: in heavy muds in oil-well drilling, to increase brilliance in the glass-making industry, as filler for paper, cosmetics, textiles, linoleum, rubber goods, paints. Barite generally occurs in a white massive variety (often appearing earthy when weathered), although some clear to bluish, bladed barite crystals have been observed in several vein deposits in central Kentucky, and commonly occurs as a solid solution series with celestite where barium and strontium can substitute for each other. Various nodular zones have been observed in Silurian–Devonian rocks in east-central Kentucky.

    The Anjahamiary Pegmatite, Fort Dauphin Area, Madagascar

    The Anjahamiary pegmatite, Fort Dauphin area, Madagascar Federico Pezzotta* & Marc Jobin** * Museo Civico di Storia Naturale, Corso Venezia 55, I-20121 Milano, Italy. ** SOMEMA, BP 6018, Antananarivo 101, Madagascar. E-mail:<[email protected]> 21 February, 2003 INTRODUCTION Madagascar is among the most important areas in the world for the production, mainly in the past, of tourmaline (elbaite and liddicoatite) gemstones and mineral specimens. A large literature database documents the presence of a number of pegmatites rich in elbaite and liddicoatite. The pegmatites are mainly concentrated in central Madagascar, in a region including, from north to south, the areas of Tsiroanomandidy, Itasy, Antsirabe-Betafo, Ambositra, Ambatofinandrahana, Mandosonoro, Ikalamavony, Fenoarivo and Fianarantsoa (e.g. Pezzotta, 2001). In general, outside this large area, elbaite-liddicoatite-bearing pegmatites are rare and only minor discoveries have been made in the past. Nevertheless, some recent work made by the Malagasy company SOMEMEA, discovered a great potential for elbaite-liddicoatite gemstones and mineral specimens in a large, unusual pegmatite (the Anjahamiary pegmatite), hosted in high- metamorphic terrains. The Anjahamiary pegmatite lies in the Fort Dauphin (Tôlanaro) area, close to the southern coast of Madagascar. This paper reports a general description of this locality, and some preliminary results of the analytical studies of the accessory minerals collected at the mine. Among the most important analytical results is the presence of gemmy blue liddicoatite crystals with a very high Ca content, indicating the presence in this tourmaline crystal of composition near the liddicoatite end-member. LOCATION AND ACCESS The Anjahamiary pegmatite is located about 70 km NW of the town of Fort Dauphin (Tôlanaro) (Fig.

    The New IMA List of Gem Materials – a Work in Progress – Updated: July 2018

    The New IMA List of Gem Materials – A Work in Progress – Updated: July 2018 In the following pages of this document a comprehensive list of gem materials is presented. The list is distributed (for terms and conditions see below) via the web site of the Commission on Gem Materials of the International Mineralogical Association. The list will be updated on a regular basis. Mineral names and formulae are from the IMA List of Minerals: http://nrmima.nrm.se//IMA_Master_List_%282016-07%29.pdf. Where there is a discrepancy the IMA List of Minerals will take precedence. Explanation of column headings: IMA status: A = approved (it applies to minerals approved after the establishment of the IMA in 1958); G = grandfathered (it applies to minerals discovered before the birth of IMA, and generally considered as valid species); Rd = redefined (it applies to existing minerals which were redefined during the IMA era); Rn = renamed (it applies to existing minerals which were renamed during the IMA era); Q = questionable (it applies to poorly characterized minerals, whose validity could be doubtful). Gem material name: minerals are normal text; non-minerals are bold; rocks are all caps; organics and glasses are italicized. Caveat (IMPORTANT): inevitably there will be mistakes in a list of this type. We will be grateful to all those who will point out errors of any kind, including typos.

  • Minerals of the Hydrotalcite Group in Metasomatically Altered Carbonate Rocks from Zawiercie, S Poland

    Minerals of the Hydrotalcite Group in Metasomatically Altered Carbonate Rocks from Zawiercie, S Poland

    MINERALOGIA POLONICA Vol. 32, No 1, 2001 PL ISSSN 0032-6267 Ewa KOSZOWSKA1, Dorota SAŁATA1 MINERALS OF THE HYDROTALCITE GROUP IN METASOMATICALLY ALTERED CARBONATE ROCKS FROM ZAWIERCIE, S POLAND A b s t a c t . Minerals of the hydrotalcite-manasseite group were identified in samples from two borehols in Zawiercie (ZMZ-9, RK-1). The minerals were found in calciphire bodies (RK-1) and in one small, metasomatic veinlet (ZMZ-9) formed in Middle Devonian dolomites. Alteration of dolomitic sediments was genetically connected with infiltration fluids that caused formation of a gamet-pyroxene skam. Inves­ tigations have revealed the presence of both hydrotalcite and manasseite. Besides, in few places of the veinlet there occurs a mineral, which has been recognized as iowaite. Key-words: hydrotalcite-manasseite group, calciphires, ska ms, metasomatic veins, Zawiercie, S Poland INTRODUCTION The hydrotalcite group minerals belong to a large group of natural and synthetic dihydroxides named also as "layered double hydroxides" or "anionic clays". Their general formula can be written as: M |2XM (0 H)2 (Am“)x/mn H 2 0 (where M+2, M +3 are cations in the hydroxide layers and Am_ is the interlayer anion) and is based on positively charged brucite-like layers with C 03-like anions and water molecules in interlayer positions (Drits et al. 1987) (Fig. la). Within the group, depending on the composition of the octahedral brucite-type cationic layers, three subgroups can be distinguished in which the cations are: a) M g +2 + Al+3, b) Mg +2 + Fe+3 , c) M g + 2 + C r+3.
