Sinjarite, a new mineral from Iraq
SUMMARY. A hygroscopic, soft, pink mineral was dis-covered in Sinjar town, west of Mosul city. Wet chemical and X-ray diffraction analyses proved that the mineral has a composition ofcalcium chloride dihydrate CaCI2. 2H20, which has not been known in nature before. It is therefore a new mineral, and...
