  • Apophyllite-(Kf)
    December 2013 Mineral of the Month APOPHYLLITE-(KF) Apophyllite-(KF) is a complex mineral with the unusual tendency to “leaf apart” when heated. It is a favorite among collectors because of its extraordinary transparency, bright luster, well- developed crystal habits, and occurrence in composite specimens with various zeolite minerals. OVERVIEW PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Chemistry: KCa4Si8O20(F,OH)·8H20 Basic Hydrous Potassium Calcium Fluorosilicate (Basic Potassium Calcium Silicate Fluoride Hydrate), often containing some sodium and trace amounts of iron and nickel. Class: Silicates Subclass: Phyllosilicates (Sheet Silicates) Group: Apophyllite Crystal System: Tetragonal Crystal Habits: Usually well-formed, cube-like or tabular crystals with rectangular, longitudinally striated prisms, square cross sections, and steep, diamond-shaped, pyramidal termination faces; pseudo-cubic prisms usually have flat terminations with beveled, distinctly triangular corners; also granular, lamellar, and compact. Color: Usually colorless or white; sometimes pale shades of green; occasionally pale shades of yellow, red, blue, or violet. Luster: Vitreous to pearly on crystal faces, pearly on cleavage surfaces with occasional iridescence. Transparency: Transparent to translucent Streak: White Cleavage: Perfect in one direction Fracture: Uneven, brittle. Hardness: 4.5-5.0 Specific Gravity: 2.3-2.4 Luminescence: Often fluoresces pale yellow-green. Refractive Index: 1.535-1.537 Distinctive Features and Tests: Pseudo-cubic crystals with pearly luster on cleavage surfaces; longitudinal striations; and occurrence as a secondary mineral in association with various zeolite minerals. Laboratory analysis is necessary to differentiate apophyllite-(KF) from closely-related apophyllite-(KOH). Can be confused with such zeolite minerals as stilbite-Ca [hydrous calcium sodium potassium aluminum silicate, Ca0.5,K,Na)9(Al9Si27O72)·28H2O], which forms tabular, wheat-sheaf-like, monoclinic crystals.

  • Carbon Mineral Ecology: Predicting the Undiscovered Minerals of Carbon
    American Mineralogist, Volume 101, pages 889–906, 2016 Carbon mineral ecology: Predicting the undiscovered minerals of carbon ROBERT M. HAZEN1,*, DANIEL R. HUMMER1, GRETHE HYSTAD2, ROBERT T. DOWNS3, AND JOSHUA J. GOLDEN3 1Geophysical Laboratory, Carnegie Institution, 5251 Broad Branch Road NW, Washington, D.C. 20015, U.S.A. 2Department of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Statistics, Purdue University Calumet, Hammond, Indiana 46323, U.S.A. 3Department of Geosciences, University of Arizona, 1040 East 4th Street, Tucson, Arizona 85721-0077, U.S.A. ABSTRACT Studies in mineral ecology exploit mineralogical databases to document diversity-distribution rela- tionships of minerals—relationships that are integral to characterizing “Earth-like” planets. As carbon is the most crucial element to life on Earth, as well as one of the defining constituents of a planet’s near-surface mineralogy, we focus here on the diversity and distribution of carbon-bearing minerals. We applied a Large Number of Rare Events (LNRE) model to the 403 known minerals of carbon, using 82 922 mineral species/locality data tabulated in http://mindat.org (as of 1 January 2015). We find that all carbon-bearing minerals, as well as subsets containing C with O, H, Ca, or Na, conform to LNRE distributions. Our model predicts that at least 548 C minerals exist on Earth today, indicating that at least 145 carbon-bearing mineral species have yet to be discovered. Furthermore, by analyzing subsets of the most common additional elements in carbon-bearing minerals (i.e., 378 C + O species; 282 C + H species; 133 C + Ca species; and 100 C + Na species), we predict that approximately 129 of these missing carbon minerals contain oxygen, 118 contain hydrogen, 52 contain calcium, and more than 60 contain sodium.

    GEOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION OF CANADA MINERALOGICAL ASSOCIATION OF CANADA 2006 JOINT ANNUAL MEETING MONTRÉAL, QUÉBEC FIELD TRIP 4A : GUIDEBOOK MINERALOGY AND GEOLOGY OF THE POUDRETTE QUARRY, MONT SAINT-HILAIRE, QUÉBEC by Charles Normand (1) Peter Tarassoff (2) 1. Département des Sciences de la Terre et de l’Atmosphère, Université du Québec À Montréal, 201, avenue du Président-Kennedy, Montréal, Québec H3C 3P8 2. Redpath Museum, McGill University, 859 Sherbrooke Street West, Montréal, Québec H3A 2K6 1 INTRODUCTION The Poudrette quarry located in the East Hill suite of the Mont Saint-Hilaire alkaline complex is one of the world’s most prolific mineral localities, with a species list exceeding 365. No other locality in Canada, and very few in the world have produced as many species. With a current total of 50 type minerals, the quarry has also produced more new species than any other locality in Canada, and accounts for about 25 per cent of all new species discovered in Canada (Horváth 2003). Why has a single a single quarry with a surface area of only 13.5 hectares produced such a mineral diversity? The answer lies in its geology and its multiplicity of mineral environments. INTRODUCTION La carrière Poudrette, localisée dans la suite East Hill du complexe alcalin du Mont Saint-Hilaire, est l’une des localités minéralogiques les plus prolifiques au monde avec plus de 365 espèces identifiées. Nul autre site au Canada, et très peu ailleurs au monde, n’ont livré autant de minéraux différents. Son total de 50 minéraux type à ce jour place non seulement cette carrière au premier rang des sites canadiens pour la découverte de nouvelles espèces, mais représente environ 25% de toutes les nouvelles espèces découvertes au Canada (Horváth 2003).
