Aggregate (geology)
In the Earth sciences, aggregate has three possible meanings.
See Richterite and Aggregate (geology)
Amphibole
Amphibole is a group of inosilicate minerals, forming prism or needlelike crystals, composed of double chain tetrahedra, linked at the vertices and generally containing ions of iron and/or magnesium in their structures.
Calcium
Calcium is a chemical element; it has symbol Ca and atomic number 20.
Fluorine
Fluorine is a chemical element; it has symbol F and atomic number 9.
Fluoro-richterite
Fluororichterite is a rare amphibole with formula Na(NaCa)Mg5Si8O22F2. Richterite and Fluoro-richterite are amphibole group, Calcium minerals, magnesium minerals, minerals in space group 12, monoclinic minerals and Sodium minerals.
See Richterite and Fluoro-richterite
Hermann–Mauguin notation
In geometry, Hermann–Mauguin notation is used to represent the symmetry elements in point groups, plane groups and space groups.

Hydrothermal circulation
Hydrothermal circulation in its most general sense is the circulation of hot water (Ancient Greek ὕδωρ, water,Liddell, H.G. & Scott, R. (1940). A Greek-English Lexicon. revised and augmented throughout by Sir Henry Stuart Jones. with the assistance of. Roderick McKenzie. Oxford: Clarendon Press.

Hydroxy group
In chemistry, a hydroxy or hydroxyl group is a functional group with the chemical formula and composed of one oxygen atom covalently bonded to one hydrogen atom.

Igneous rock
Igneous rock, or magmatic rock, is one of the three main rock types, the others being sedimentary and metamorphic.

Limestone
Limestone (calcium carbonate) is a type of carbonate sedimentary rock which is the main source of the material lime.
Magnesium
Magnesium is a chemical element; it has symbol Mg and atomic number 12.
Metamorphic rocks arise from the transformation of existing rock to new types of rock in a process called metamorphism.

Mineral
In geology and mineralogy, a mineral or mineral species is, broadly speaking, a solid substance with a fairly well-defined chemical composition and a specific crystal structure that occurs naturally in pure form.
Monoclinic crystal system
In crystallography, the monoclinic crystal system is one of the seven crystal systems.

A silicate is any member of a family of polyatomic anions consisting of silicon and oxygen, usually with the general formula, where.
Silicate mineral
Silicate minerals are rock-forming minerals made up of silicate groups.

Sodium
Sodium is a chemical element; it has symbol Na (from Neo-Latin natrium) and atomic number 11.
