Jun 02, 2021 Kaolin. Kaolin from Lal Lal, Victoria (Scale: 13 cm) The term kaolin is typically used for clayey material that is low in iron content and is white or nearly white and composed of minerals of the kaolin group. The kaolin-forming clays are all hydrous aluminium silicates, essentially kaolinite [Al 2 (Si 2 O 5 ) (OH) 4 ], that are formed by the ...
