Wollastonite is a calcium inosilicate mineral (Ca Si O 3) that may contain small amounts of iron, magnesium, and manganese substituting for calcium. It is usually white.

2023年4月23日 · Wollastonite is a group of innosilicate mineral, formula is CaSiO3 that may inlude small amount of magnesium, manganese and iron substituting for calcium. A valuable industrial mineral, wollastonite is white, gray, or pale green in color.

Wollastonite, white, glassy silicate mineral that commonly occurs as masses or tabular crystals with other calcium-containing silicates (e.g., diopside, tremolite, garnet, and epidote) in metamorphosed limestones.

2021年7月19日 · Wollastonite is a mineral most closely associated with metamorphosed carbonate rocks or silica-infused hydrothermal modifications of calcareous sediments. Typical wollastonite occurrence is in marbles with higher silica content. Other typical wollastonite bearing rocks are Ca-rich skarns and their subtype, sometimes labeled as erlan.

Wollastonite, a calcium metasilicate (CaSiO 3), has a theoretical composition of 48.3% calcium oxide and 51.7% silicon dioxide but may contain trace to minor amounts of aluminum, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, and sodium. It occurs as prismatic crystals that cleave into massive-to-acicular fragments.

Wollastonite is a chemically simple mineral named in honor of English mineralogist and chemist Sir W.H. Wollaston (1766–1828). It is composed of calcium (Ca) and silicon and oxygen (SiO2, silica) with the chemical formula CaSiO3.

What is Wollastonite? Wollastonite is comprised chemically of calcium, silicon, and oxygen. Natural wollastonite may contain trace or minor amounts of various metal ions such as aluminum, iron, magnesium, potassium, and sodium.

Wollastonite is an industrially important mineral. It is a necessary ingredient in heat-resistant refractory ceramics and is used as a filler in paint. It is also used in the manufacture of paper and plastics. Due to its fluorescece, Wollastonite is a popular mineral among collectors who specialize in fluorescent minerals.

2001年3月1日 · Wollastonite is a chemically simple mineral named in honor of English mineralogist and chemist Sir W.H. Wollaston (1766–1828). It is composed of calcium (Ca) and silicon and oxygen (SiO2, silica) with the chemical formula CaSiO3.

Wollastonite is a naturally occurring mineral that is a chemical combination of calcium, silicon and oxygen. Wollastonite’s unique chemistry and needle-shaped physical structure make it one of the world’s most versatile and effective value-added performance materials.
