  2. Mineral water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral_water

    Today, it is far more common for mineral water to be bottled at the source for distributed consumption. Travelling to the mineral water site for direct access to the water is now uncommon, and in many cases not possible because of exclusive commercial ownership rights. More than 4,000 brands of mineral water are commercially available worldwide.

  3. Crystal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal

    A crystal is a solid where the atoms form a periodic arrangement. ( Quasicrystals are an exception, see below ). Not all solids are crystals. For example, when liquid water starts freezing, the phase change begins with small ice crystals that grow until they fuse, forming a polycrystalline structure.

  4. Water of crystallization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_of_crystallization

    In chemistry, water (s) of crystallization or water (s) of hydration are water molecules that are present inside crystals. Water is often incorporated in the formation of crystals from aqueous solutions. [1] In some contexts, water of crystallization is the total mass of water in a substance at a given temperature and is mostly present in a ...

  5. Mineral hydration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral_hydration

    Mineral hydration. In inorganic chemistry, mineral hydration is a reaction which adds water to the crystal structure of a mineral, usually creating a new mineral, commonly called a hydrate . In geological terms, the process of mineral hydration is known as retrograde alteration and is a process occurring in retrograde metamorphism.

  7. Borjomi (water) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borjomi_(water)

    Borjomi (water) Borjomi ( Georgian: ბორჯომი) is a brand of naturally carbonated mineral water from springs in the Borjomi Gorge of central Georgia. The artesian springs in the valley are fed by water that filters from glaciers covering the peaks of the Bakuriani mountains at altitudes of up to 2,300 m (7,500 ft).

  8. Clay mineral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clay_mineral

    Clay minerals are hydrous aluminium phyllosilicates (e.g. kaolin, Al 2 Si 2 O 5 ( OH) 4 ), sometimes with variable amounts of iron, magnesium, alkali metals, alkaline earths, and other cations found on or near some planetary surfaces . Clay minerals form in the presence of water [1] and have been important to life, and many theories of ...

  9. Farris (mineral water) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farris_(mineral_water)

    Farris mineral water originates from rainwater falling on this hill. The water slowly filters through deposited glacial moraine material and reaches the spring some 15–20 years later, strongly mineralized. In 1988 a new spring, 21 meters deep, was discovered, and this new spring is the present source of the mineral water.
