About HydrotalciteHide

Formula:
Mg6Al2(CO3)(OH)16 · 4H2O
Colour:
White, brownish
Lustre:
Waxy, Pearly
Hardness:
2
Specific Gravity:
2.03 - 2.09
Crystal System:
Trigonal
Name:
First found by Prof. K. J. A. Theodor Scheerer (1813-1875) at Snarum, Buskerud, Norway. Named in 1842 by Carl Christian Hochstetter in allusion its high water content ('Hydro-') and to its resemblance to talc.
Is a member of the hydrotalcite group and hydrotalcite supergroup.

May be confused with meixnerite. Compare also quintinite.
"Manasseite" was discredited because it was recognised as a hexagonal polytype of hydrotalcite, Hydrotalcite-2H, by Mills et al. (2012).

Hydrotalcite from the type locality at Snarum, Norway, is dominated by the 3R polytype (Mills et al., 2016).

A regular interstratification of hydrotalcite and chrysotile is known as UM1995-40-SiO:AlHMg.

Optical Data of HydrotalciteHide

Type:
Uniaxial (-)
RI values:
nω = 1.511 - 1.531 nε = 1.495 - 1.529
Max. Birefringence:
δ = 0.002 - 0.016
Based on recorded range of RI values above.

Interference Colours:
The colours simulate birefringence patterns seen in thin section under crossed polars. They do not take into account mineral colouration or opacity.

Michel-Levy Bar The default colours simulate the birefringence range for a 30 µm thin-section thickness. Adjust the slider to simulate a different thickness.

Grain Simulation You can rotate the grain simulation to show how this range might look as you rotated a sample under crossed polars.

Surface Relief:
Moderate
