About FerroalluauditeHide

Formula:
(Na,Ca)Fe2+(Fe3+,Mn2+,Fe2+)2(PO4)3
Colour:
Straw-yellow to brownish yellow, green, greenish black; yellow to yellow-green in transmitted light.
Hardness:
5 - 5½
Specific Gravity:
3.4 - 3.5
Crystal System:
Monoclinic
Name:
In allusion to the composition, containing dominant iron (Latin = FERRum) and Alluaudite in allusion to its relationship to that species.
Alluaudite Group. Alluaudite-Ferroalluaudite Series.

A confusing change of nomenclature occurred regarding the species in this series. Ferroalluaudite was formerly Alluaudite and the present day Alluaudite was formerly Mangan-Alluaudite.

Occurs as an alteration product of Varulite and Arrojadite-(KFe).

Optical Data of FerroalluauditeHide

Type:
Biaxial (+)
RI values:
nα = 1.727 nγ = 1.738
Max. Birefringence:
δ = 0.011
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:
Moderate
Dispersion:
relatively strong
Pleochroism:
Strong
Comments:
X = dull green to pale blue; Y = Z = bright green with a bluish tinge.
Comments:
2V large
