Abstract
Ettringite was the name given by J. Lehmann in 1874 to minute, transparent, acicular crystals lining the cavities of metamorphosed limestone-inclusions in leucite-nepheline-tephrite from the Ettringer-Bellerberg, near the village of Ettringen (between Mayen and the Laacher See), Rhineland. Lehmann detached sufficient needles from the limestone for chemical analysis, and found that they were not gypsum, as formerly supposed, but a hydrated calcium sulphoaluminate.Keywords
