Hi there, thank you for your response. Here is the actual formula I was given by my boss and he is quite the mineral collector....he assured me that it was Alg and I asked him what the 'g' stood for and he said some value, but wasn't sure....here is the formula I have and it is for a Scolectite and Stillbite mineral from Nasik, India. CaAl2Si3O10 ∙ 3H20
NaCa4 (Si27 Alg) O72 ∙ 30H20 Please let me know what you think.
Thx.
