Halloysite is a common pedogenic clay mineral, often found in young soils developed on volcanic deposits (Dixon, 1989), It is a member of the kaolin group of clays with the same ideal stoichiometric composition as kaolinite [Al2Si2O5(OH)4]. Halloysite, however, often contains water of hydration (i,e., Al2Si2O5(OH)4·nH2O), and is commonly found with a tubular morphology, This “rolling” of halloysite has received a great deal of study because there is no generally agreed upon mechanism for the process and there is no corresponding phenomenon in natural kaolinite (e.g. , Bates et al., 1950; Bailey, 1989; Singh, 1996; Singh and Mackinnon, 1996). The crystal structure of halloysite often shows stacking disorder. This property, combined with a rolled morphology, makes identification by X-ray diffraction (XRD) difficult. The XRD peaks at 7.5, 4.4, and 3.6 Å are often asymmetric with a large width at half peak height (Bailey, 1989).
