About Fluorvesuvianite
Formula:
Ca19Fe3+Al4(Al6Mg2)(◻4)◻[Si2O7]4[(SiO4)10]O(F,OH)9
The formula is a partial simplification of the full structural formula. The large (VII-IX)-coordinated (X4)2(X3)8(X2)8(X1) sites are here combined (e.g. Ca19) and are typically filled with Ca, although other large cations such as the REE may be present. The square-pyramidal Y1 site can host a variety of M2+ and M3+ ions and is the basis for the distinction of several species. The VI-coordinated Y2 site typically is filled with Al, whereas the also VI-coordinated Y3 site may contain Al, Mg, and other cations of similar charge and size. The tetrahedral T1 site is typically vacant but may contain B (less commonly Al); the trigonal T2 site is also typically vacant but may also contain B. Some of the (SiO4) may be replaced by (H4O4), akin to the Si4+ ↔︎ 4H+ hydrogarnet substitution. Among the oxygen that are not part of the silica tetrahedra, there are eight "O11" that typically occur as OH, two "O10" that are typically O & OH or OH & OH (the latter arrangement notably when Y1 is an M2+ cation). There may also be up to three "O12" that in most vesuvianite-group minerals are absent (and are not included here), but may be present particularly when T1 is occupied.
As it is not explicit if all "O11" sites can be occupied by F in the ideal end-member, the use of (F,OH) is retained here.

For its relation to vesuvianite and the fluoride dominance over hydroxide in its chemical composition.
Fluorine analogue of Vesuvianite.
"The structure refinement demonstrates that most of the fluorine is at the F(11) position [the refined site-occupancy is F0.72(OH)0.28]. The elongate bond length (1.664 Å) and the Si(1) site-occupancy factor, 0.803(8), suggest substitution according to the scheme (SiO4)4− <-> 4F−.
If Ca19(Al,Mg,Fe2+)13[SiO4]10[Si2O7]4O(OH)9 is considered the formula of vesuvianite, the end-member composition of fluorvesuvianite is Ca19(Al,Mg,Fe2+)13[SiO4]10[Si2O7]4O(F)9. In other words, a vesuvianite-group specimen with more than 4.5 F apfu is named fluorvesuvianite." (Britvin et al., 2003).

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.
