Bauxite, Garrone, France. Temporarily listed in the mineral collection, Bauxite is actually a rock that is the main ore of aluminium.It is composed of the aluminium minerals, gibbsite, bohemite, and diapsore, with two iron oxides, haematite and goethite. It is also a source of gallium. The pisoliths in the specimen have a pleasing visual effect.
Bauxite mainly consists of the major minerals gibbsite, boehmite, diaspore, kaolinite, quartz, goethite and hematite. Large quantities of bauxite often occur in the form of
The Mineral boehmite. Boehmite, also spelled as Böhmite, is one of the three component minerals of the economically important aluminum ore Bauxite. It is named after
2010-6-9 Bauxite deposits form the major source of aluminum in our industrial world. The major aluminum phases recognised in bauxites and laterites are gibbsite also known as hydrargillite (γ-Al(OH)3), boehmite (γ-AlO(OH)), and diaspore (α-AlO(OH)). In addition other commonly observed phases are kaolinite, allophane, quartz, goethite, and haematite (see e.g. [1-3]. Gibbsite is the principal component in tropical bauxites formed in areas characterised by a hot rainy climate with alternating dry periods (monsoon). Bauxites with mainly boehmite seem to be more restricted to the subtropical areas (Mediterranean type bauxite).
Bauxites are residually enriched rocks, mostly composed of Al-hydroxides (gibbsite, boehmite and diaspore), kaolinite, Fe-oxy-hydroxides and Ti-oxides (Fig. 1), which formed from the intense lateritic weathering of aluminosilicate protoliths.

Free moisture in crude bauxite as mined, may range from 5 to 30%. Other aluminium
The gibbsite structure consists of layers of Al–O octahedra each sharing three edges so as to form rings (Fig. 3 A) with the H ions between those layers (Fig. 3 B) near and around the holes in the rings. The layered structure is the reason for the perfect basal {001} cleavage.

2021-5-31 Bauxite is a silt rock, which consists of high aluminum content. It is the primary source of aluminum in the world. Bauxite primarily comprises minerals such as boehmite, gibbsite, hematite, goethite, ilmenite, and anatase. It is usually found near the surface of the terrain; hence, strip mining, a type of surface mining, is carried out.
