A kind of worm-like aggregates, consisting of very tiny curving tubes, was first found in a residual kaolin deposit at mine 414, Jiangxi Province. The results of several mineralogical analyses show that the single curving tube is composed of gibbsite and metahalloysite minerals. This particular shape of mineral aggregates has not been reported before.
