The U.S. Bureau of Mines (USBM) was the primary United States Government agency conducting scientific research and disseminating information on the extraction, processing, use, and conservation of mineral resources.
Founded on May 16, 1910, through the Organic Act (Public Law 179), USBM's missions ...
A monoclinic mineral, Ca/2)<sub>0.3</sub>Mg<sub>3</sub>Si<sub>4</sub>O<sub>10</sub>(OH)<sub>2</sub>; smectite group; with no tetrahedral substitution of Al for Si, its layer charge arises from octahedral vacancies.

A monoclinic mineral, Ca<sub>2</sub>(Al,Mn,Fe)<sub>3</sub>(OH)O(Si<sub>2</sub>O<sub>7</sub>)(SiO<sub>4</sub>) ; epidote group; less common than epidote; occurs in a variety of environments: low-grade regional metamorphic rocks, manganese deposits, and some intermediate to silicic volcanic rocks, perhaps due to metasomatism.
