This paper deals with the primary and secondary mineralogical properties of seven pedons of albic soils from the northern subtropical region of China. The contents of heavy and light minerals show that the soils inherit the parent material properties, the parent material between albic E horizon and argillic horizons are lithologically uncountinous, and the former horizons are weathered strongly than latter ones. The surface of the arenaceous quartz shows albic E horizons result from the loess reaccumulation. Hydromica dominates the clay fraction of albic soils, the kaolinite formation and clay mineral crystallinity show the desilicification and depotassication, the clay minerals can collapse to some extent. The dominant iron oxides are hematite and geothite, these iron oxides are proved to have formed under the conditions consistent with present ones.
