Afghanite, (Na,K)22Ca10[Si24Al24O96](SO4)6Cl6,[2] is a hydrous sodium, calcium, potassium, sulfate, chloride, carbonate alumino-silicate mineral. Afghanite is a feldspathoid of the cancrinite group and typically occurs with sodalite group minerals. It forms blue to colorless, typically massive crystals in the trigonal crystal system. The lowering of the symmetry from typical (for cancrinite group) hexagonal one is due to ordering of Si and Al.[2] It has a Mohs hardness of 5.5 to 6 and a specific gravity of 2.55 to 2.65. It has refractive index values of nω = 1.523 and nε = 1.529. It has one direction of perfect cleavage and exhibits conchoidal fracture.[4] It fluoresces a bright orange.

Afghanite

It was discovered in 1968 in the Lapis-lazuli Mine, Sar-e-Sang, Badakhshan Province, Afghanistan and takes its name from that country. It has also been described from localities in Germany, Italy, the Pamir Mountains of Tajikistan, near Lake Baikal in Siberia, New York and Newfoundland. It occurs as veinlets in lazurite crystals in the Afghan location and in altered limestone xenoliths within pumice in Pitigliano, Tuscany, Italy.[3]

It is used as a gemstone.[7]

Descalcificador de agua químico. El descalcificador o ablandador de agua es un aparato que, por medios mecánicos o químicos, trata el agua para reducir el contenido de sales minerales. El agua con alto contenido de sales de calcio o magnesio (agua dura) tiende a formar incrustaciones minerales en las paredes de las tuberías. En algunos casos bloquean casi la totalidad de la sección del tubo. Las sales se adhieren con más frecuencia a las tuberías de agua caliente así como a las superfici…

A working parent is a father or a mother who engages in a work life. Contrary to the popular belief that work equates to efforts aside from parents' duties as a childcare provider and homemaker, it is thought[by whom?] that housewives or househusbands count as working parents.[1] The variations of family structures include, but are not limited to, heterosexual couples where the father is the breadwinner and the mother keeps her duties focused within the home, homosexual parents w…
