    Kamaishilite is a calcium aluminum silicate hydroxide mineral that occurs as colorless, transparent grains up to 0.1 mm in size. It has a tetragonal crystal structure and is dimorphous with the mineral bicchulite. Kamaishilite was first identified occurring as an alteration product of vesuvianite in a vesuvianite skarn within a marble deposit in the Kamaishi mine in Iwate Prefecture, Japan.
