Description

From abstract: This paper is a continuation of the study of the kaolin minerals, in the first part of which, published in 1931, the kaolin minerals kaolinite, dickite, and nacrite were described. In that paper the application of chemical, optical, X-ray, and dehydration methods to the investigation of clay materials were discussed. The present study shows that halloysite is a fourth mineral of the kaolin group, closely related to but distinct from kaolinite. The chemical, optical, X-ray, and dehydration properties of a representative group of halloysites are recorded, all these being new data determined by the authors on separate portions … continued below
