Glauberite

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Glauberite is a mineral, sodium calcium sulfate with the formula Na₂Ca(S O₄)₂, which forms as an evaporite. It is named for the closely related Glauber's salts. Because of its solubility, glauberite is often dissolved away from the crystal matrix leaving a mould into which other minerals are deposited giving them an anomalous crystal form.
