Finely ground mineral (0.9315 g) was dissolved in 25 mL of boiling 4 M HCl and diluted with 175 mL H2O containing two drops of methyl red indicator. The solution was heated to 100C, and 50 mL of warm solution containing 2.0 g (NH4)2C2O4 were slowly added to precipitate CaC2O4. Then 6 M NH3 was added until the indicator changed from red to yellow, showing that the liquid was neutral or slightly basic. After slow cooling for 1 h, the liquid was decanted and the solid transferred to a filter crucible and washed with cold 0.1 wt% (NH4)2C2O4 solution five times until no Cl- was detected in the filtrate upon addition of AgNO3 solution. The crucible was dried at 105C for 1 h and then at 500 ± 25 C in a furnace for 2 h.
