About AllophaneHide

Formula:
(Al2O3)(SiO2)1.3-2 · 2.5-3H2O
Colour:
White, pale blue to sky-blue, green, brown
Lustre:
Waxy
Hardness:
3
Specific Gravity:
2.75
Crystal System:
Amorphous
Name:
From the Greek άλλος ("allos") for "other" or "different" and φαίνεσθαι ("phaenesthai"), "to appear", in allusion to the change it undergoes in a blowpipe flame.
Amorphous hydrous silicate of aluminium, composition not fixed. Principal member of the nominal "Allophane Group."
Copper-bearing varieties can be confused with chrysocolla.
Colourless varieties may be confused with hyalite.

The nano-sized particles (a few nm across) have a ball-shaped morphology. Essentially, the mineral consists of a single modified gibbsite sheet rolled into a porous nanoball.

Related to imogolite, another nanomineral.
