- noun A hydrate of aluminium, a whitish mineral, found, in Massachusetts in irregular stalactitic masses, presenting an aggregation of elongated tuberous branches, parallel and united: also found in the Ural and elsewhere, in monoclinic crystals, and often called
hydrargillite . Its structure is fibrous, the fibers radiating from an axis.

-
In its molecular structure thousands of alternate flat layers of silica (silicon oxide) and gibbsite (aluminium oxide) occur, and give the particles their typical hexagonal plate-like structure.

-
The principal minerals from which aluminum is recovered today are hydrous aluminum oxides, the most prominent of which are bauxite, gibbsite, and diaspore -- the aggregate of all these minerals going commercially under the name of bauxite.

On 10th February 2010 ABx released details of its maiden resource - 22 million tonnes of gibbsite-rich bauxite on the first target area on EL 6997; based on drilling of less than 10% of known bauxite areas on the Tenement.

It consists largely of the minerals gibbsite Al (OH) 3, boehmite γ-AlO (OH), and diaspore α-AlO (OH), together with the iron oxides goethite and hematite, the clay mineral kaolinite and small amounts of anatase TiO2.
