1880M. F. Heddle in Mineral. Mag. IV. 119 Tobermorite. This is a zeolite which I first found filling small druses in the cliffs of the shore immediately to the north of the pier of Tobermory in the Island of Mull. 1962Engineering 3 Aug. 137 All tobermorites, natural or synthetic, are layer crystals having some similarity to vermiculite. 1978Mineral. Mag. XLII. 229/1 Tobermorite minerals vary in some properties, most notably in whether loss of molecular water is accompanied by unidimensional lattice shrinkage... Tobermorites that show this lattice shrinkage have come to be called ‘normal’ and ones that do not, ‘anomalous’. |
