Kaolinite
Kaolinite (/ˈkeɪəlᵻˌnaɪt/) is a clay mineral, part of the group of industrial minerals, with the chemical composition Al2Si2O5(OH)4. It is a layered silicate mineral, with one tetrahedral sheet of silica (SiO4) linked through oxygen atoms to one octahedral sheet of alumina (AlO6) octahedra. Rocks that are rich in kaolinite are known as kaolin or china clay.
The name is derived from Chinese Kao-Ling (高岭/高嶺, pinyin Gāolǐng, 'High Ridge'), a village near Jingdezhen, Jiangxi province, China. The name entered English in 1727 from the French version of the word: kaolin, following Francois Xavier d'Entrecolles's reports from Jingdezhen. In Africa, kaolin is sometimes known as kalaba (in Gabon and Cameroon), calaba, and calabachop (in Equatorial Guinea), "eko" ( in Nigeria)
Kaolinite has a low shrink–swell capacity and a low cation-exchange capacity (1–15 meq/100 g). It is a soft, earthy, usually white mineral (dioctahedral phyllosilicate clay), produced by the chemical weathering of aluminium silicate minerals like feldspar. In many parts of the world, it is colored pink-orange-red by iron oxide, giving it a distinct rust hue. Lighter concentrations yield white, yellow or light orange colors. Alternating layers are sometimes found, as at Providence Canyon State Park in Georgia, US. Commercial grades of kaolin are supplied and transported as dry powder, semi-dry noodle or as liquid slurry.

by: KaolinGreat sur ta Gretsch patin?e, je t'imagine rosir ? mes propos, ?claircir tes m?ches et p?lir tes bras.
Sur cette peau parfois bleue, je me vois veinard de l'instant, te gu?rir de tes plaies.
Je me vois sortir, d?cal? ? ton bras, de ton h?tel, palace blanc et mit?, imitant toutes ces passes de tor?adors hollywoodiens d?j? morts.
Je les imagine ? tes pieds, leurs liasses calqu?es sur leurs langues mauves.
Great toi, sur ta Gretsch patin?e, sur ton vieux club tu joue encore en d?saccord.
Tu as envie d'y retourner et je finirai peut-?tre par fuir moi ce bruit blanc, mais je note ton accord, et je ne bouge, ne fr?mis, aucune ?mulsion ne doit passer.
Tu ne bouges toujours pas, cette odeur de talc, t'alcaline les v?tements et les art?res, ces art?res alt?r?es de toute part par ces mol?cules, ces particules am?ricaines, ce smol?cules qui te font et t'ont fait perdre la t?te mais pas la m?lodie Gretschienne.
Greta sur ta Gretsch patin?e, toutes ces mol?cules am?ricaines t'ont fait perdre la t?te. J'?claircis tes m?ches, je touche ? tes cheveux, je vois tes gestes, tes v?tements, ces mol?cules amricaines qui t'ont fais perdre la t?te.
Greta sur ta Gretsch patin?e, sur ton fauteuil, tu joues encore, tu joues encore en d?saccord, je vois bien distinctement, les mol?cules, ces mol?cules am?ricaines.
