About Hydrohalloysite
Formula:
Al2Si2O5(OH)4 · 2H2O
Crystal System:
Monoclinic
Name:
The early history of the name of this species is complex (Alexander et al. 1943, Faust 1955). Names used include halloysite, hydrated halloysite and endellite. The name was changed by the IMA to halloysite-10Å in 1980 (Bailey 1980), where the suffix refers to the 10-Ångström layer thickness that is identified in XRD patterns. The species was renamed to hydrohalloysite in 2022, for its relationship to halloysite and the increased hydration.
The root name honors Belgian geologist Jean-Baptiste d'Omalius d'Halloy, (February 16th 1783 - January 15th 1875), who discovered the mineral. He was a nobleman, a statesman, and pioneer of modern geology in Belgium.
