| Abstract | Stringhamite CaCuSiO(4)·H(2)O is a hydrated calcium copper silicate and is commonly known as a significant 'healing' mineral and is potentially a semi-precious jewel. Stringhamite is a neosilicate with Cu(2+) in square planar coordination. Vibrational spectroscopy has been used to characterise the molecular structure of stringhamite. The intense sharp Raman band at 956 cm(-1) is assigned to the ν(1) (A(1g)) symmetric stretching vibration. Raman bands at 980, 997, 1061 cm(-1) are assigned to the ν(3) (A(2u), B(1g)) antisymmetric stretching vibrations. Splitting of the ν(3) vibrational mode supports the concept that the stringhamite SiO(4) tetrahedron is strongly distorted. The intense bands at 505 and 519 cm(-1) and at 570 cm(-1) are assigned to the ν(2) and ν(4) vibrational modes. The question arises as to whether the mineral stringhamite can actually function as a healing mineral. An estimation of the solubility product at pH<5 shows that the cupric ion can be released. The copper ion is a very powerful antibiological agent and thus the mineral stringhamite may well function as a healing mineral. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
