Omalius d’Halloy, 1783-1875), a claylike mineral of the group of layered silicates having the chemical composition Al4[Si4O10](OH)8·4H2O. It is close in composition to kaolinite, from which it is distinguished by a higher water content. Halloysite crystallizes in a monoclinic system. It is found in the form of claylike crypto-crystalline aggregates. The coloration is usually white but can sometimes be from yellowish to brown (from iron oxides), with a dull luster. Its hardness on the mineralogical scale is one to two; its density is 2,000 to 2,200 kg/m3. Halloysite is a typical product of the weathering of the aluminum silicates of igneous rocks, especially feldspars. It is common, but large accumulations are unusual. |
