About Bussyite-(Ce)Hide

Antoine A. B. Bussy

Formula:

(Ce,REE)₃(Na,H₂O)₆MnSi₉Be₅(O,OH)₃₀F₄

Colour:

Pale pinkish orange

Lustre:

Vitreous

Hardness:

Specific Gravity:

3.00

Crystal System:

Monoclinic

Name:

Named J.D. Grice, R. Rowe, G. Poirier, A. Pratt, J. Francis in 2007 in honor of Antoine Alexandre Brutus Bussy (29 May 1794, Marseille, France – 1 February 1882, Paris, France), chemist, who is co-credited in isolating the element beryllium, which is a component of this mineral, in August 1828. The "-(Ce)" suffix is in allusion to cerium being the dominant rare earth element in the species.

Type Locality:

ⓘ Poudrette quarry (De-Mix quarry; Demix quarry; Uni-Mix quarry; Carrière Mont Saint-Hilaire; MSH), Mont Saint-Hilaire, La Vallée-du-Richelieu RCM, Montérégie, Québec, Canada

The Ce analogue of bussyite-(Y).

Optical Data of Bussyite-(Ce)Hide

Type:

Biaxial (-)

RI values:

n_α = 1.574(2) n_β = 1.591(2) n_γ = 1.597(2)

2V:

Measured: 63° (2), Calculated: 61°

Max. Birefringence:

δ = 0.023
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.

Thickness: 30 µm Order divisions

Rotation:

Surface Relief:

Moderate

Optical Extinction:

X ∧ c = 39° (β acute); Y = b; Z ∧ a = 44.5° (β obtuse).
