How Glaucophane connects Entity context

The extracted context around Glaucophane shows recurring relationship patterns in the source. For example, Glaucophane → Fe, Ferroglaucophane, Glaucophane's, Mg, Na2, OH, The Another extracted example is Glaucophane → magnesium-rich endmember and ferroglaucophane is the iron-rich endmember.Ferroglaucophane is similar to glaucophane but is slightly denser and hence increased specific gravity, mineral and a mineral group belonging to the sodic amphibole supergroup of the double chain inosilicates. Use these groups to spot repeated connection types before inspecting the individual relationships.
