Ko te paura Wollastonite, he rauemi kohuke kore-waro mahi-teitei, kua piki haere te rongonui puta noa i ngā rāngai hangahanga o te ao mō ōna āhuatanga ā-tinana me te matū ahurei. I ahu mai i te konupūmā metasilicate tūturu (CaSiO₃) ngā konganuku, he maha ngā whakamahinga o tēnei whakakī me te whakakaha i roto i ngā uku, kirihou, paninga, hangahanga, me ngā mahi motuka.

I roto i te hanganga, ko te wollastonite he kohuke silicate mekameka nō te rōpū pyroxenoid, e tio ana i roto i te pūnaha triclinic. Ko tōna āhuatanga tino motuhake ko tōna āhua matūriki rite ki te ngira/pūwero, me ngā ōwehenga āhuatanga mai i te 8:1 ki te 30:1, me ngā karaehe kounga teitei tae atu ki te 50:1. Ka hangaia tēnei hanganga acicular mai i ngā mekameka mutunga kore o te [SiO₄] tetrahedra e honoa ana e ngā iona konupūmā. He mā te āhua o te kohuke, he 4.5 te pakeketanga o te Mohs.–5.5, te mātotoru o te 2.75–2.9 karamu/cm³, me te ira rewa i te 1540°C. He tino pai te pumau matū, he iti te mimiti hinu, he iti te pupuri makuku, he iti te horapa wera, ā, he mā te kiri.

I roto i ngā mahi ahumahi, he mea whakamiharo ngā pānga whakapakari o te hanganga ngira o te wollastonite. I roto i ngā uku, ka whakaitihia e ia ngā pāmahana mura mā te 50–100°C, ka whakapoto i ngā huringa tahu, ka whakarei ake i te kaha, ka ārai i te pakaru, ka whakapai ake i te maeneene o te paninga. I roto i ngā kirihou me te rapa, ka whakanui ake i te kaha kume, te pakari, me te pumau o ngā āhuatanga me te whakaiti i ngā utu rauemi. Ka whakamahia e te umanga paninga hei whakapai ake i te roa, te ātete ki te waikura, me te hipoki, ka whakaiti i te whakawhirinaki ki te hauhā titanium.

He whakakapinga pai mō te taiao te asbestos i roto i ngā hua waku (ngā papa pēki, ngā mata mamau) me ngā rauemi ātete ahi. I roto i te hanganga, ka whakarei ake i te kaha o te raima me te ātete ahi, me te whakaiti i ngā tukunga waro. Ka whai hua te umanga pepa mai i tōna kaha ki te whakanui ake i te mārama, te maeneene, me te āheinga tā. Ka kitea hoki te whakamahinga i roto i te mahi whakarewa hei para tiaki, ā, i roto i te ahuwhenua hei whakatikatika pH oneone.

I a ngā kaihanga e whai ana i ngā rauemi pumau, mahi teitei, kei te whakawhānui tonu te paura wollastonite i tōna aroaro ki te mākete. Nā ōna painga hanganga ahurei, ka waiho hei kohuke mahi nui mō te whanaketanga ahumahi hou.
