Pumpellyite Subgroup from
Trandorf, Mühldorf, Krems-Land District, Lower Austria, Austria


Locality type:Quarry
Classification
Species:'Pumpellyite Subgroup' (not an IMA approved species)
Formula:Ca2XAl2[Si2O6(OH)][SiO4](OH)2A
Comments:1) "Pumpellyite" was erroneously assigned to Trandorf by Brandstätter (1987). However, it occurs in the areas "Korundgraben" and "Weinberg Mitte".
2) Re-interpretation of the analysis in Brandstätter (1987) suggests that the sample is possibly Al-dominant, even if taking into account the dominant-constituent rule. (Comment Uwe Kolitsch)
