Book ChapterDOI
Halloysite and gibbsite formation in hawaii1
TL;DR: Halloysite is the common crystalline intermediate on both the megascopic and microscopic scales as discussed by the authors, and is produced by removal of silica from halloysite, dehydration of Al-gel, and precipitation from solution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Halloysite and Gibbsite Formation in Hawaii1
TL;DR: Halloysite is the common crystalline intermediate on both the megascopie and microscopic scales as mentioned in this paper, and it is possible that the mineral may form directly from feldspar.
Journal ArticleDOI
Further Observations on the Morphology of Chrysotile and Halloysite1
TL;DR: In this article, it was suggested that a complete morphological series from plates through laths to tubes exists both in platy to fibrous serpentine and in kaolinite to halloysite (4H2O).
Journal ArticleDOI
Electron Microscopy of Clay Surfaces
TL;DR: The most successful method of sample preparation involves pre-shadowing the specimen with platinum and backing this with a layer of carbon prior to removal of the clay with a suitable solvent.
