Detailed Mineral List:
| ⓘ Almandine Formula: Fe2+3Al2(SiO4)3 References: |
| ⓘ Chalcopyrite Formula: CuFeS2 References: |
| ⓘ Formula: Mg5(SiO4)2F2 Locality: Stakholmen quarry, Hassela, Nordanstig, Gävleborg County, Sweden - erroneously reported Description: This entry was posted without any reference. No analysis of chondrodite has been found in publications or known among Swedish collectors so far (2016). Dravite occurs as a brown-yellowish mineral at Stakholmen, and it could be a misidentification. |
| ⓘ Columbite-(Mg) Formula: (Mg,Fe,Mn)(Nb,Ta)2O6 |
| ⓘ Cordierite Formula: (Mg,Fe)2Al3(AlSi5O18) Description: Jonsson (1996) says Cordierite mostly occurs as grey to blue anhedral masses in an outer zone of the prismatine-bearing assemblage. References: Jonsson, E. (1996) The first occurrence of a kornerupine‐group mineral in Sweden: Prismatine from Stakholmen, Hälsingland.

| ⓘ Dravite Formula: NaMg3Al6(Si6O18)(BO3)3(OH)3(OH) Description: Jonsson (1996) says "In most of the investigated specimens, prismatine is intimately intergrown in a medium- to coarse-grained white or colourless to light tan mass mainly composed of subhedral sheaves of white enstatite, white, sheafy talc and a light brownish phlogopitic mica. Dravite, quartz and plagioclase occur as slightly less common constituents of this assemblage. In some samples, a disequilibrium texture with prismatine being rimmed by dravite is apparent In most samples, however, dravite occurs as either disparate euhedral crystals, or as anhedral, blebby inclusions in komerupine." |
| ⓘ Enstatite Formula: Mg2Si2O6 Habit: subhedral sheaves Colour: white or colourless to light tan Fluorescence: light blue under SW and MW, nearly white and weaker under LW Description: Jonsson (1996) says "In most of the investigated specimens, prismatine is intimately intergrown in a medium- to coarse-grained white or colourless to light tan mass mainly composed of subhedral sheaves of white enstatite, white, sheafy talc and a light brownish phlogopitic mica. Dravite, quartz and plagioclase occur as slightly less common constituents of this assemblage. In some samples, a disequilibrium texture with prismatine being rimmed by dravite is apparent In most samples, however, dravite occurs as either disparate euhedral crystals, or as anhedral, blebby inclusions in kornerupine."
