About EdeniteHide

Formula:
NaCa2Mg5(Si7Al)O22(OH)2
The minerals in the edenite group are defined with A(Na+K+2Ca)≥0.5 apfu and C(Al+Fe3++2Ti)≤0.5 apfu and with (OH), F or Cl in the W position.

Edenite is defined with
A position: Na dominant
C position: Mg dominant
W position: (OH) dominant
Colour:
White, grey, pale to dark green, also brown and pale pinkish-brown
Lustre:
Vitreous
Hardness:
5 - 6
Specific Gravity:
3.05 - 3.37
Crystal System:
Monoclinic
Name:
First mentioned in print in its mineralogical sense by Charles Upham Shepard in 1831, but he stated that the name was in common usage before 1831 and referred to the mineral's locality at Edenville, Orange Co., New York, USA. The first chemical analysis of edenite seems to be that published by Carl Rammelsberg in 1858.
NOTE: Endmember edenite is unstable, and near endmember compositions are not found in nature. Furthermore, all attempts to synthesize an endmember edenite have failed (Oberti et al., 2006). It has been found that Fe and F stabilize the edenite molecule and therefore edenite found in nature always contain significant amounts of Fe and/or F, although not always enough to qualify as ferro-edenite or fluoro-edenite.

The content of F is not always analyzed, and (OH) dominance is generally assumed when analyzing amphiboles. For the edenite root name group minerals, this assumption is probably incorrect in many cases. Therefore, it is probable that many of locality entries and photos of edenite in mindat are not correctly identified.

Chemically similar to pargasite (which has more Si and less Al) and richterite (more Na).

Optical Data of EdeniteHide

Type:
Biaxial (+)
RI values:
nα = 1.606 - 1.649 nβ = 1.617 - 1.660 nγ = 1.631 - 1.672
2V:
Measured: 52° to 83°, Calculated: 84° to 90°
Max. Birefringence:
δ = 0.023 - 0.025
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.

Surface Relief:
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.
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.
Dispersion:
weak to distinct
Pleochroism:
Visible
Comments:
in greens, blue-greens, and yellow-browns.
