Bowlingite - Ca0,25(Mg,Fe)3((Si,Al)4O10)(OH)2* nH2O
Bowlingite is an obsolete name for saponite (from Latin, "sap" = soap, alluding to its greasy or soapy feel and appearance). Bowlingite is a mixture of smectite, quartz, chlorite, serperntine, talc. The formation of iddingsite or bowlingite depends on O
2 fugacity.
