Named in 1637 by Song Yingxing for the ancient Chinese type locality "Kaoling (Gaoling)", meaning high ridge. The term kaolin is typically used for clayey material that is low in iron content and is white or nearly white and composed of minerals of the kaolin group. The kaolin-forming clays are all hydrous aluminium silicates, essentially kaolinite [Al2(Si2O5)(OH)4], that are formed by the decomposition of other aluminous minerals, especially feldspars.
