Kaolinite

Kaolinite is a type of clay mineral, primarily composed of aluminum silicate. It is formed from the weathering of rocks, particularly granite, and is commonly found in soil and sediment. Kaolinite has a soft, white appearance and is used in various industries, including ceramics, paper, rubber, and cosmetics, due to its ability to absorb moisture and provide a smooth texture. It is also important in art for pottery and sculpture. Its properties make it versatile, facilitating both practical applications and aesthetic qualities in different products.
