WHAT DOES DIASPORE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

diaspore

Diaspore

Diaspore /ˈdaɪəspɔːr/, also known as empholite, kayserite, or tanatarite, is an aluminium oxide hydroxide mineral, α-AlO, crystallizing in the orthorhombic system and isomorphous with goethite. It occurs sometimes as flattened crystals, but usually as lamellar or scaly masses, the flattened surface being a direction of perfect cleavage on which the lustre is markedly pearly in character. It is colorless or greyish-white, yellowish, sometimes violet in color, and varies from translucent to transparent. It may be readily distinguished from other colorless transparent minerals with a perfect cleavage and pearly luster—like mica, talc, brucite, and gypsum— by its greater hardness of 6.5 - 7. The specific gravity is 3.4. When heated before the blowpipe it decrepitates violently, breaking up into white pearly scales. Twinned crystal of Turkish diaspore from Mugla Province, Aegean Region, Turkey The mineral occurs as an alteration product of corundum or emery and is found in granular limestone and other crystalline rocks.
