Montmorillonite(HcCa)

Formula : Ca0.3Mg0.6Al1.4Si4O10(OH)2

Space group: 
Monoclinic - Prismatic HM symbol (2/m) Space Group: C 2/m
Dana class: 
71.3.1a.1VIII- 71 Phyllosilicate Minerals ; 71.3 Phyllosilicates Phyllosilicate Sheets of Six-Membered Rings with 2:1 clays ; 71.3.1a Smectite group (Dioctahedral Smectites)
High temperature: 
Low temperature mineral. At higher temperatures(> 500C), detachment of (OH) ions takes place.
Geological context: 
Montmorillonite and beidellite are the principal constituents of bentonite clay deposits. Montmorillonite results from the weathering of basic rocks mainly in conditionsof poordrainage when magnesium is not removed.
