Locality type: Quarry Classification Species: Montebrasite Formula: LiAl(PO4 )(OH) Formation: Primary Comments: Crude crystals to at least several cm associated with quartz, cleavelandite, pollucite and spodumene. Differentiated from similar-looking microcline by its bright green fluorescence under SW UV, apparently caused by included opal-AN? Habit: subhedral coarse grains Colour: white Luminescent properties: bright green under SW UV (from included opal-AN?) Confirmation Validity: Confirmed Confirmation Methods: Visually Identified Associated Minerals Based on Photo Data: Opal 5 Albite 4 - var Cleavelandite 4 Pollucite 4 Spodumene 2 Mitridatite 2 Muscovite 2 Eosphorite 1 Lithiophorite 1 Goethite 1 Quartz 1 Vivianite 1 Data Mineral Data: Click here to view Montebrasite data Locality Data: Click here to view Emmons Quarry, Uncle Tom Mountain, Greenwood, Oxford County, Maine, USA Photo Gallery View Gallery (7 photos) Data Identifiers Mindat Occurrence Record ID: 28560 Long-form Identifier: 1:3:28560:1 GUID (UUID V4 ): 0 Nearest other occurrences of Montebrasite
