The high Al2O3/SiO2 ratio of 0.53 indicates the high quality of Cretaceous kaolin deposits in Sinai. The kaolin of the lower lens in Rueikna and upper lens in Salia contains Si/Al molecular ratio of 0.9 which suggests a high grade of kaolin in these two lenses. A greater input of LREE is a characteristic of the Cretaceous kaolin (Monazite ...

Kaolin Capital of the World. April 13, 2020 JPEG. Roughly 70 million years ago, the land that is now Washington County, Georgia, was covered by a shallow tropical sea with a chain of young mountains nearby. As erosion wore away at the mountains over tens of millions of years, large deposits of mineral-rich silt accumulated in deltas, bays, …

The most significant kaolin deposits were formed through intensive weathering of rock rich in feldspars (granite, arkoses, certain types of ortho-gneisses and misgmatites). Millions years ago, original material was decomposed by weathering, giving rise to kaolin and silica combined with higher or lower amounts of admixtures.(Bernard, el al; 1992).
