Sudoite
Sudoite is a mineral from the chlorite group. It was named after Toshio Sudo (1911-2000), professor of mineralogy at the University of Tokyo, in Japan, and a pioneer of clay science. The mineral tosudite also bears his name. It was approved as a valid species by the International Mineralogical Association in 1966. Characteristics Sudoite is a clay mineral with chemical formula defined as Mg2Al3(Si3Al)O10(OH)8. It has a monoclinic crystal system. Its hardness on the Mohs scale is between 2.5 and 3.5. Classification Following the Nickel–Strunz classification, it is contained in the "09.EC.55" group: Formation It has been first discovered in the Knollenberg Keuper formation, in the village of Plochingen, Stuttgart Region (Baden-Württemberg, Germany). Despite being an unlikely mineral, it has been described in every continent but Antarctica and Oceania. It is found mainly in hydrothermal or high-pressure/low-temperature (HP/LT) metamorphism contexts Use This minera ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Chlorite Group
The chlorites are the group of phyllosilicate minerals common in low-grade metamorphic rocks and in Mineral alteration, altered igneous rocks. Greenschist, formed by metamorphism of basalt or other low-silica volcanic rock, typically contains significant amounts of chlorite. Chlorite minerals show a wide variety of compositions, in which magnesium, iron, aluminium, and silicon substitute for each other in the crystal structure. A complete solid solution series exists between the two most common end members, magnesium-rich clinochlore and iron-rich chamosite. In addition, manganese, zinc, lithium, and calcium species are known. The great range in composition results in considerable variation in physical, optical, and X-ray diffraction, X-ray properties. Similarly, the range of chemical composition allows chlorite group minerals to exist over a wide range of temperature and pressure conditions. For this reason chlorite minerals are ubiquitous minerals within low and medium temperat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Baden-Württemberg
Baden-Württemberg ( ; ), commonly shortened to BW or BaWü, is a states of Germany, German state () in Southwest Germany, east of the Rhine, which forms the southern part of Germany's western border with France. With more than 11.07 million inhabitants across a total area of nearly , it is the third-largest German state by both List of German states by area, area (behind Bavaria and Lower Saxony) and List of German states by population, population (behind North Rhine-Westphalia and Bavaria). The List of cities in Baden-Württemberg by population, largest city in Baden-Württemberg is the state capital of Stuttgart, followed by Mannheim and Karlsruhe. Other major cities are Freiburg im Breisgau, Heidelberg, Heilbronn, Konstanz, Pforzheim, Reutlingen, Tübingen, and Ulm. Modern Baden-Württemberg includes the historical territories of Baden, Prussian Province of Hohenzollern, Hohenzollern, and Württemberg.

Stuttgart Region
Stuttgart Region (Baden-Württemberg, Germany) is an urban agglomeration at the heart of the Stuttgart Metropolitan Region. It consists of the city of Stuttgart and the surrounding Districts of Germany, districts of Ludwigsburg (district), Ludwigsburg, Esslingen (district), Esslingen, Böblingen (district), Böblingen, Rems-Murr and Göppingen (district), Göppingen (each 10–20 km from Stuttgart city center). About 2.7 million inhabitants live in that area (3,700 km2). In fact, with 708 people per square kilometre, the Stuttgart Region () is one of the most densely populated areas in Germany. Stuttgart Region is governed by a directly elected parliament. Situated at the heart of Baden-Württemberg, the ''Stuttgart Region'' is the hub of Economy, economic, Science, scientific, and Politics, political life in Southwest Germany. The area currently has Germany's highest density of scientific, academic and research organisations, and tops the national league for patent ...

Odinite
Serpentine subgroup (part of the kaolinite-serpentine group in the category of phyllosilicates) are greenish, brownish, or spotted minerals commonly found in serpentinite. They are used as a source of magnesium and asbestos, and as decorative stone. The name comes from the greenish color and smooth or scaly appearance from the Latin , meaning "snake-like". Serpentine subgroup is a set of common rock-forming hydrous magnesium iron phyllosilicate () minerals, resulting from the metamorphism of the minerals that are contained in mafic to ultramafic rocks. They may contain minor amounts of other elements including chromium, manganese, cobalt or nickel. In mineralogy and gemology, serpentine may refer to any of the 20 varieties belonging to the serpentine subgroup. Owing to admixture, these varieties are not always easy to individualize, and distinctions are not usually made. There are three important mineral polymorphs of serpentine: antigorite, lizardite and chrysotile. Serpentin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
