About HureauliteHide

Formula:
Mn2+5(PO3OH)2(PO4)2 · 4H2O
Colour:
Commonly pink to colorless, also Red, orange, orange-red, reddish brown, yellowish brown, violet-rose, amber, gray
Lustre:
Vitreous, Sub-Vitreous, Greasy
Hardness:
5
Specific Gravity:
3.15 - 3.20
Crystal System:
Monoclinic
Name:
Named by François Alluaud II in 1825 for the type locality, the village of Hureaux, Haute Vienne Department, Limousin, France. A diacritical mark has been used in the name, "huréaulite", but the town does not use a diacritical mark in its name. In 1912, Waldemar Schaller named a red mineral from Pala, California, USA, "palaite", but the mineral has proved to be only a color variety of hureaulite. Baldaufite was named in 1925 by Franz Mullbauer. De Jesus (1933) named pseudopalaite.
Hureaulite Group.
Phosphate analogue of miguelromeroite.

Originally sometimes called huréaulite; spelling re-defined by Burke (2008).

Study of Gatta (2016) on the Fe-bearing material from Jocão pegmatite shows that in the structure there are/is: (1) 5 independent H sites, (2) no zeolitic water, (3) two water molecules standing for vertices of (Mn,Fe) octahedra, (4) only divalent Fe, (5) complex hydrogen bonding system. Iron occupies mostly the M2 site.

One of two currently (status: June 2024) approved Mn hydroxophosphate minerals (compare manganonewberyite).

Optical Data of HureauliteHide

Type:
Biaxial (-)
RI values:
nα = 1.637 - 1.657 nβ = 1.645 - 1.667 nγ = 1.649 - 1.671
2V:
Measured: 75° to 82°, Calculated: 70° to 84°
Birefringence:
0.015
Max. Birefringence:
δ = 0.012 - 0.014
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:
r < v very strong; crossed.
Optical Extinction:
X = b, Z^c ~ 61°-75°
Pleochroism:
Visible
Comments:
X = Colourless
Y = Yellow to light pink
Z = Reddish yellow to reddish brown
Comments:
Fe substitution increases RI, a few chemical analyses show Fe>Mn.
