Botryoidal

Index Botryoidal

A botryoidal texture or mineral habit is one in which the mineral has a globular external form resembling a bunch of grapes as derived from the Greek botruoeidēs. [1]

Chrysocolla

Chrysocolla is a hydrated copper phyllosilicate mineral with formula: Cu2−Al(H2−Si2O5)(OH)4·H2O (or (Cu,Al)2H2Si2O5(OH)4·H2O. The structure of the mineral has been questioned, as spectrographic studies suggest material identified as chrysocolla may be a mixture of the copper hydroxide spertiniite and chalcedony.

Particle

In the physical sciences, a particle (or corpuscule in older texts) is a small localized object to which can be ascribed several physical or chemical properties such as volume, density or mass.
