Argillaceousminerals may appear silvery upon optical reflection and are mineral s containing substantial amounts of clay like components lang el clay . Argillaceous components are fine grained less than 2 Micrometre m aluminosilicate s, and more particularly clay mineral s such as kaolin ite, montmorillonite smectite , illite , and Chlorite group chlorite . Claystone and shale s are thus predominantly argillaceous. The adjective argillaceous is also used to define rocks in which clay minerals are a secondary but significant component. For example, argillaceous limestones are limestone s consisting predominantly of calcium carbonate , but including 10 40 of clay minerals such limestones, when soft, are often called marl s. Similarly, argillaceous sandstones are sandstone s consisting primarily of quartz grains, with the Matrix geology interstitial space s filled with clay minerals.

Phosphate minerals are those mineral s that contain the tetrahedrally coordinated phosphate PO sub 4 sub sup 3 sup anion along with the freely substituting arsenate AsO sub 4 sub sup 3 sup and vanadate VO sub 4 sub sup 3 sup . Chlorine Cl sup sup , fluorine F sup sup , and hydroxide OH sup sup anions also fit into the crystal structure. The phosphate class of minerals is a large and diverse group, however, only a few species are relatively common. Examples Phosphate minerals include triphylite Li Fe,Mn PO sub 4 sub monazite Ce,La,Y,Th PO sub 4 sub hinsdalite PbAl sub 3 sub PO sub 4 sub SO sub 4 sub OH sub 6 sub pyromorphite Pb sub 5 sub PO sub 4 sub sub 3 sub Cl vanadinite Pb sub 5 sub VO sub 4 sub sub 3 sub Cl erythrite Co sub 3 sub AsO sub 4 sub sub 2 sub 8H sub 2 sub O amblygonite LiAlPO sub 4 sub F lazulite Mg,Fe Al sub 2 sub PO sub 4 sub sub 2 sub OH sub 2 sub wavellite Al sub 3 sub PO sub 4 sub sub 2 sub OH sub 3 sub 5H sub 2 sub O turquoise CuAl sub 6 sub PO sub 4 sub sub 4 sub OH sub 8 sub 5H sub 2 sub O autunite Ca UO sub 2 sub sub 2 sub PO sub 4 sub sub 2 sub 10 12H sub 2 sub O carnotite K sub 2 sub UO sub 2 sub sub 2 sub VO sub 4 sub sub 2 sub 3H sub 2 sub O phosphophyllite Zn sub 2 sub Fe,Mn PO sub 4 sub sub 2 sub 4H sub 2 sub O struvite NH sub 4 sub MgPO sub 4 sub 6H sub 2 sub O Apatite group Ca sub 5 sub PO sub 4 sub sub 3 sub F,Cl,OH hydroxylapatite Ca sub 5 sub PO sub 4 sub sub 3 sub OH fluorapatite Ca sub 5 sub PO sub 4 sub sub 3 sub F chlorapatite Ca sub 5 sub PO sub 4 sub sub 3 sub Cl bromapatite Mitridatite group Arseniosiderite mitridatite series Ca sub ... to rock with high concentration of phosphate minerals, most commonly of the apatite group ..., ceramics, water treatment and metallurgy.

Sulfosalt minerals are those complex sulfide minerals with the general formula A sub m sub B sub n sub S sub p sub where A represents a metal such as copper , lead , silver , iron and rarely mercury element mercury , zinc , vanadium B usually represents semi metal such as arsenic , antimony , bismuth and rarely germanium , or metals like tin and rarely vanadium and S is sulfur or rarely selenium or and tellurium . ref name Mindat cite web url http www.mindat.org strunz.php?a 2 title Strunz classification of sulfides and sulfosalts publisher Mindat ref The Strunz classification includes the sulfosalts in a sulfides and sulfosalts superclass. ref name Mindat A group which have a similar appearing formulas are the Sulfarsenide mineral sulfarsenide s for example cobaltite Co,Fe AsS . In sulfarsenides the arsenic substitutes for sulfur whereas in the sulfosalts the arsenic substitutes for a metal cation. ref name Klein Klein, Cornelis and Cornelius S.
