    I`mt`qx1/00Lhmdq`knesgdLnmsg9Rbnkdbhsd This month’s mineral, scolecite, is an uncommon zeolite from India. Our write-up explains its origin as a secondary mineral in volcanic host rocks, the difficulty of collecting this fragile mineral, the unusual properties of the zeolite-group minerals, and why mineralogists recently revised the system of zeolite classification and nomenclature. OVERVIEW PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Chemistry: Ca(Al2Si3O10)A3H2O Hydrous Calcium Aluminum Silicate (Hydrous Calcium Aluminosilicate), usually containing some potassium and sodium. Class: Silicates Subclass: Tectosilicates Group: Zeolites Crystal System: Monoclinic Crystal Habits: Usually as radiating sprays or clusters of thin, acicular crystals or Hairlike fibers; crystals are often flattened with tetragonal cross sections, lengthwise striations, and slanted terminations; also massive and fibrous. Twinning common. Color: Usually colorless, white, gray; rarely brown, pink, or yellow. Luster: Vitreous to silky Transparency: Transparent to translucent Streak: White Cleavage: Perfect in one direction Fracture: Uneven, brittle Hardness: 5.0-5.5 Specific Gravity: 2.16-2.40 (average 2.25) Figure 1. Scolecite. Luminescence: Often fluoresces yellow or brown in ultraviolet light. Refractive Index: 1.507-1.521 Distinctive Features and Tests: Best field-identification marks are acicular crystal habit; vitreous-to-silky luster; very low density; and association with other zeolite-group minerals, especially the closely- related minerals natrolite [Na2(Al2Si3O10)A2H2O] and mesolite [Na2Ca2(Al6Si9O30)A8H2O]. Laboratory tests are often needed to distinguish scolecite from other zeolite minerals. Dana Classification Number: 77.1.5.5 NAME The name “scolecite,” pronounced SKO-leh-site, is derived from the German Skolezit, which comes from the Greek sklx, meaning “worm,” an allusion to the tendency of its acicular crystals to curl when heated and dehydrated.
  • Apophyllite-(Kf)

    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.

    Fluid and Mineral Inclusions and Inclusion Zones of Cave Calcite from Korsnäs Mine, Western Finland

Inclusions and crystal forms of calcite crystals from a cave in the Korsnäs lead-lanthanide mine in western Finland have been studied. The primary fluid inclusions in the scalenohedral yellowish calcite show homogenization temperatures of 79° to 103°C and salinities of 3.6 to 4.9 eq. wt. °/o NaCl. The prevailing crystal form is scaleno- hedron. In some specimens it reveals a rhombohedral phantom. Four mineralization stages are proposed on the basis of correlation between inclusion zones in multiple-zoned calcite crystals. Pentti Rehtijärvi and Kari A.

    Nature's Art: Geodes from the Collection of Robert R. Wiener

    Nature’s Art: Geodes from the Collection of Robert R. Wiener The Rye Arts Center Spring - Summer 2021 Curated by Gail Harrison Roman, PhD A Tribute to Robert R. Wiener The Rye Arts Center extends its gratitude and love to Bob Wiener: Humanitarian, Connoisseur, Collector, Scholar, Educator, Cherished Friend Front cover: Vanadite, Morocco Back cover: Malachite, Congo 1 NATURE’S ART: GEODES FROM THE COLLECTION OF ROBERT R. WIENER Guiding Light of The Rye Arts Center Robert R. Wiener exemplifies the Mission of The Rye Arts Center. He is a supporter of cultural endeavors for all and a staunch believer in extending the educational value of the arts to underserved populations. His largesse currently extends to the Center by his sharing geodes with us. This is the latest chapter of his enduring support that began thirty-five years ago. Bob is responsible for saving 51 Milton Road by spearheading in 1986 the movement to prevent the city’s demolition of our home. He then led the effort to renovate the building that we now occupy. As a member of the RAC Board in the 1980s and 1990s, Bob helped guide the Center through its early years of expansion and success. His efforts have enabled RAC to become a beacon of the arts for the local community and beyond it. Bob has joined with RAC to place cases of his geodes in area schools, where they attract excited attention from children and adults alike. Bob’s maxim is “The purpose of life is to give back.” Led and inspired by Bob, The Wiener Family Philanthropy supports dozens of organizations devoted to the arts, community initiatives, education, health care, and positive youth empowerment.

Institute of Geology and Mineralogy, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Novosibirsk 630090, Russia 4 Via Dogali, 20, 31100-Treviso Received 26 January 2010; accepted 8 April 2010 Abstract: Very high temperature, Ca-rich alkaline magma intruded an argillite formation at Colle Fabbri, Central Italy, producing cordierite-tridymite metamorphism in the country rocks. An intense Ba-rich sulphate-carbonate- alkaline hydrothermal plume produced a zone of mineralization several meters thick around the igneous body. Reaction of hydrothermal fluids with country rocks formed calcium-silicate-hydrate (CSH), i.e., tobermorite- afwillite-jennite; calcium-aluminum-silicate-hydrate (CASH) – “cement” phases – i.e., thaumasite, strätlingite and an ettringite-like phase and several different species of zeolites: chabazite-Ca, willhendersonite, gismon- dine, three phases bearing Ca with the same or perhaps lower symmetry of phillipsite-Ca, levyne-Ca and the Ca-rich analogue of merlinoite. In addition, apophyllite-(KF) and/or apophyllite-(KOH), Ca-Ba-carbonates, portlandite and sulphates were present. A new polymorph from the pyrrhotite group, containing three layers of sphalerite-type structure in the unit cell, is reported for the first time. Such a complex association is unique.
