| Comments: | "Segeler (1961) mistakenly referred to the manganoan cummingtonites from Talcville, New York as "tirodite," because the yellow amphibole from Tirodi contains substantial amounts of Mn and Mg. Unfortunately, Segeler's misidentification of manganoan cummingtonite as tirodite received the blessings of the IMA Commission on New Mineral Names". (Ghose & Hexiong 1989). Tirodite was discredited in the 1997 paper on amphibole nomenclature as a synonym of Parvowinchite. Thus specimens of manganocummingtonite labelled as tirodite was erronously relabelled as "parvowinchite". There are no evidence of significant Na content in these amphibioles. | |
