Definition
A white efflorescence or powder that forms on certain minerals or materials containing aluminum, often indicating weathering or oxidation.
Etymology
From 'alum' (a chemical compound used in dyeing and tanning) plus 'bloom' (fine powder on surfaces), describing the visual appearance of the mineral deposits.
Kelly Says
Alumbloom is one of those compound words where the meaning is perfectly transparent once you know what 'alum' is—mineral collectors see it as a sign the specimen is deteriorating and needs preservation.
