Alum stone. Mineral alunite

Alunite, or so-called alum stone - is a natural mineral, consisting of aqueous potassium sulfonate and aluminum metal. The formula is defined by chemical researchers as NA2O.

Characteristics of the mineral

Alunite supergroup with cleavage 0001. The crystal is represented in two variants: tabular and rhombohedral. Aggregates are rigid and dense. Grain is high, solid and fibrous. When exposed to temperature, it does not melt. Excellent solubility in potassium and hydrochloric acid. Absolutely colorless and transparent mineral, created by nature from volcanic formations.

Origin

Alum stone is formed in the upper soil layers. The low-temperature hydrothermal process of formation of this mineral ranges from 15 to 400 ^о С, more detailed temperature ranges are present in the table of minerals. The reaction of the reaction sulphate liquids that formed as a result of the decomposition of pyrite into aluminous rocks creates a process of quartz or kaolinization. Exogenous origin of alunite is considered the oxidation zone of sulfate deposits. Kaolin, quartz, pyrite, gypsum, spores are all the minerals that accompany the creation of alunite.

Useful properties in everyday life

Aluminum alum has excellent antiseptic and hemostatic features. Do not clog the pores, they just close them, they also perfectly cope with small wounds or cuts.

2) When applied to the skin, it does not clog the pores and allow the skin to breathe.

3) Eliminates the unpleasant odor of perspiration, and also reduces it.

4) The difference between alunite and deodorant is the absence of aluminum chlorohydrate. This harmful element accumulates in the human body.

5) Does not have its own flavor.

6) Does not leave traces.

7) Does not cause allergic reactions.

The whole essence of the application of alum stone is to protect the body and help in the work of the immune system. The crystal creates an invisible protective layer on the skin that consists of the secreted mineral salt. It kills all microorganisms on the skin, and also destroys the sweat bacteria. Use alunite quickly and easily, you will need to soak it with water and lightly apply anointing in problem areas. The pleasant news is that one piece of alum stone is enough for almost three years of use, and daily use. It does not lose its properties when decreasing in volume.

Disadvantages of the mineral

The only and most important defect of the alunite, unfortunately, is its fortress. Fragile stone with a normal impact on the floor just scattered into small particles. But even after the stone crashed, its fragments can be used as a powder for shoes, for people who suffer from excessive sweating of the feet it will be just a salvation. The particles can also be pulverized. Another small drawback is that the alunite should be used much more often than the purchased deodorant, that is, in other words, it will have to be kept with you.

In the modern market, many manufacturers offer care products, but how many of them can claim that their products are made 100% natural? Everyone will say the same thing: our products are ECO. But in fact, such manufacturers are one. One of the natural deodorants is alunite. So why not use this environmentally friendly product daily? And why does it use so few people? The answer is simple: very few people know about the unique properties of the alum stone. And by the way, its properties were discovered even in ancient times, and this was a real find for women of that time. And only ancient descriptions about their extraterrestrial beauty came to us, which was formed not only from appearance, but also health. The question arises: "Why buy high-priced goods, which forced us to advertise?"
