   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaolinite

   Kaolinite (/ ˈ k eɪ. ə l ə ˌ n aɪ t,-l ɪ-/ KAY-ə-lə-nyte, -⁠lih-; also called kaolin) [5] [6] [7] is a clay mineral, with the chemical composition Al 2 Si 2 O 5 4.It is a layered silicate mineral, with one tetrahedral sheet of silica (SiO 4) linked through oxygen atoms to one octahedral sheet of alumina (AlO 6).

3. Boulangerite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boulangerite

   It is a really heavy, though soft mineral, which is easily breakable, though it cannot be scratched by using fingernails due to the same hardness (2.5–3). The mineral being heavy although being soft is due to its compact mass. The cleavage is generally good. In case of the fibrous type, the fibers are flexible. It is an opaque mineral.

4. Talc - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talc

   Talc, or talcum, is a clay mineral composed of hydrated magnesium silicate, with the chemical formula Mg 3 Si 4 O 10 (OH) 2. Talc in powdered form, often combined with corn starch, is used as baby powder. This mineral is used as a thickening agent and lubricant. It is an ingredient in ceramics, paints, and roofing material.

5. Mineralized tissues - Wikipedia

   Mineralized tissues combine stiffness, low weight, strength and toughness due to the presence of minerals (the inorganic part) in soft protein networks and tissues (the organic part). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] There are approximately 60 different minerals generated through biological processes, but the most common ones are calcium carbonate found in mollusk ...

7. Remineralisation of teeth - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remineralisation_of_teeth

   P11-4 is a self-assembling β-peptide. It builds a 3-D bio-matrix with binding sites for Calcium-ions serving as nucleation point for hydroxyapatite (tooth mineral) formation. The high affinity to tooth mineral is based on matching distances of Ca-ion binding sites on P11-4 and Ca spacing in the crystal lattice of hydroxyapatite.
