Black or brown

Lustre:

Metallic

Hardness:

5½ - 6

Specific Gravity:

5.02 (Calculated)

Crystal System:

Hexagonal

Member of:

Hawthorneite Subgroup > Magnetoplumbite Group

Name:

Named by I.E. Grey, I.C. Madsen, and S.E. Haggerty in 1987 in honor of John Barry Hawthorne (1934–2018), former Chief Geologist (Diamonds), DeBeers Consolidated Mines, South Africa, in honor of his contributions to studies of the upper mantle.

Type Locality:

ⓘ Bultfontein Mine, KEM JV Mine (Kimberley Ekapa Mining Joint Venture mine; Kimberley Underground mine), Kimberley, Sol Plaatje Local Municipality, Frances Baard District Municipality, Northern Cape, South Africa

Unique combination of elements, although somewhat chemically similar to mathiasite and haggertyite.

The supposed Ti analogue (actually its Ti5Mg2Cr analogue) is IMA-coded as UM1994-07-O:BaCrFeMgTi.
