FORMULA_HTML: Na2Ca(Mg,Fe2+,Mn,Fe3+,Al)5(Si8O22)(OH,F)2

SAMPLE_DESCRIPTION:
"I-21 Richterite 336B--Sweden. Na2Ca(Mg, Fe2+, Mn, Fe3+, Al)5(Si8O22)(OH, F)2: This mineral occurs in thermally metamorphosed limestone's and skarns, and is also found as a hydrothermal product in veins in alkaline igneous rocks. This sample is contaminated with 30% magnetite, which reduces the overall reflectivity. It would also serve to quench the iron bands, were any displayed. However, the curve shown is for a sample cleaned of all magnetite, and it is still surprisingly free of electronic transition bands for an amphibole. The only well defined features are the 1.4µ OH band, which is clearly doubled, and the two OH bands near 2.32µ and 2.38µ."
Sieve interval 74 - 250µm.
