TLDR
In this paper, the mineralogical characterizations of some Indian vermiculites and chlorites are reported, and significant differences in X-ray and thermal properties are observed, presumably due to presence of mixed layer minerals and/or other contaminations.
Abstract
Mineralogical characterizations of some Indian vermiculites and chlorites are reported. Significant differences in X-ray and thermal properties are observed. Such anomalies of the properties are presumably due to presence of mixed layer minerals and/or other contaminations.

The Geology of Vermiculite Occurrences

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that most and possibly all macroscopic-type vermiculite deposits formed by the action of supergene solutions on biotite and phlogopite are of super-gene origin.
