About Gismondine SubgroupHide

Carlo Giuseppe Gismondi (1762-1824)

Lustre:

Vitreous

Member of:

Zeolite Group

Name:

Named for Carlo Giuseppe Gismondi (1762-1824), Italian mineralogist, who previously discovered "zeagonite" - a mixture of gismondine and phillipsite.

First Recorded Locality:

ⓘ Capo di Bove, Rome, Metropolitan City of Rome Capital, Lazio, Italy

Zeolite Group.
"Gismondine-Ba" (proposed) has only been found as a secondary slag mineral on lead-rich slags. All other gismondine described prior to 2021 is the calcium-rich member, renamed "Gismondine-Ca" by the IMA. The suffix was added by the IMA in 2021, after the discovery of gismondine-Sr.

May be confused with amicite.

Unique IdentifiersHide

IMA Classification of Gismondine SubgroupHide

IMA status:

'Grandfathered' (first described prior to 1959)

Mineral SymbolsHide

As of 2021 there are now IMA–CNMNC approved mineral symbols (abbreviations) for each mineral species, useful for tables and diagrams.
