About PlombièriteHide

04086880017271926067360.jpg
Plombières-les-Bains, France
Formula:
Ca5Si6O16(OH)2 · 7H2O
Colour:
White to pink to red-brown
Hardness:
4
Specific Gravity:
2.02 - 2.20
Crystal System:
Orthorhombic
Name:
Name after the locality. Redefined by IMA in 2014, according to new nomenclature for the Tobermorite Supergroup.
Plombièrite is the most hydrated phase belonging to the Tobermorite supergroup. It has a basal spacing of 14 Å, and is therefore often called 'Tobermorite-14 Å'.

The structure of plombièrite contains composite layers, consisting of infinite sheets of (CaO7) polyhedra, to both sides of which dreier single chains of (SiO4) tetrahedra are attached, running along the b axis. Those layers are stacked along the c axis and linked by additional calcium ions and water molecules which occupy cavities between the layers (Bonaccorsi et al., 2005).

A very similar structure is expected for Riversideite.

Two natural polytypes are known: Plombièrite-4O and Plombièrite-2M.
