Kapaevskaya Pipe, Middle Angara River, Irkutsk Oblast, Russia
Locality type:Pipe
Classification
Species:Chlormagaluminite
Formula:Mg4Al2(OH)12Cl2 · 3H2O
Comments:The mineral occurs in cavities in magnetite ore, closely intergrown with (and possibly formed by the alteration of) chlorite by NaCl-rich solutions.
When first described in 1978 (Zapiski 107, 321-325 (1978) (Mineralog. Abs. (1980) 31, 226)) it was called "chlor-manasseite," but the new data show it to be different from that compound.
Habit:Platy crystals up to several mm in size have the form of dipyramids.
Colour:Colorless to greenish-brown
