About Allanite-(La)Hide

Thomas Allan

Formula:

(CaLa)(AlAlFe²⁺)O[Si₂O₇][SiO₄](OH)

Colour:

Black, with brownish reflections

Lustre:

Vitreous

Hardness:

Specific Gravity:

3.93

Crystal System:

Monoclinic

Member of:

Allanite Group > Epidote Supergroup

Name:

Named in 2006 by Paolo Orlandi and Marco Pasero for its relationship to other allanite group minerals, with lanthanum as the dominant rare earth element. The root name is for Thomas Allan (1777, Edinburgh, Scotland - 1833, Morpeth, Northumberland, England), Scottish banker and mineralogist who first described what is now allanite-(Ce). Samples fitting the description of allanite-(La) were described earlier and the name was recommended by Levinson (1966) but a proper species description was not given until 2006.

Type Locality:

ⓘ Buca della Vena Mine, Pontestazzemese, Stazzema, Lucca Province, Tuscany, Italy

Allanite Group of the Epidote Supergroup. The La-analogue of Allanite-(Ce).

The large well formed crystals of "allanite-(La)" from the Nueva Vizcaya Mine, Spain published by Del Tanago et al. (2002) as “macroscopic La-dominant allanite and REE-rich epidote crystals” are zoned crystals containing allanite with Ce>La,allanite with La>Ce, and REE-rich epidote. Only thin zones within the crystals contain sufficient REE to qualify as allanite-(La), and the La dominant material were too scarce to adequately describe allanite-(La) as a new mineral.

Fleischer (1985) has studied analyses of 506 allanites and presents the average content of each of the REE elements (including Y) in various rock types:

Optical Data of Allanite-(La)Hide

Type:

Biaxial (-)

RI values:

n_α = 1.755 n_β = 1.76 n_γ = 1.765

2V:

Calculated: 90°

Max. Birefringence:

δ = 0.010
Based on recorded range of RI values above.

Interference Colours:
The colours simulate birefringence patterns seen in thin section under crossed polars. They do not take into account mineral colouration or opacity.

Michel-Levy Bar The default colours simulate the birefringence range for a 30 µm thin-section thickness. Adjust the slider to simulate a different thickness.

Grain Simulation You can rotate the grain simulation to show how this range might look as you rotated a sample under crossed polars. Each grain retains its interference colour (retardation) while its brightness falls to black at extinction and reaches a maximum between extinction positions.

Thickness: 30 µm Order divisions

Rotation:

Surface Relief:

Very High (positive)
Relative to Canada balsam mounting medium (n ≈ 1.537).

This shows the grain boundary and Becke line effect under plane-polarised light, based on the contrast between this mineral's average refractive index and the mounting medium. It does not take into account mineral colouration.

Focus:

In focus

Interference Figure:

This shows the idealized biaxial acute bisectrix (Bxa) interference figure - the conoscopic view for a grain cut perpendicular to the acute bisectrix, using this mineral's 2V. The two small white dots mark the melatopes - the points where the two optic axes emerge - and are shown only when they fall within the field of view. The coloured bands are isochromatics, and the dark bands are isogyres.

Rotate the stage: at 0°/90° the isogyres form a cross through the melatopes; at 45° they pull apart into curved hyperbolas. That splitting on rotation - absent in a uniaxial figure - is the standard diagnostic test for telling biaxial minerals from uniaxial ones. If 2V is large, the melatopes may fall outside the field of view, as they often do at the microscope too.

Thickness: 30 µm

Stage rotation: 0°

Dispersion:

very high

Pleochroism:

Strong

Comments:
