Name:
Named in 1957 by Clifford Frondel in honor of Karl Hugo Strunz [February 24, 1910, Weiden in Oberpfalz, Bavaria, Germany - April 19, 2006, Unterwössen, Bavaria, Germany], Professor of Mineralogy, Technische Universität, Berlin, Germany. Strunz was a systematic mineralogist and published on the classification of silicate mineral crystal structures in 1937 (in the same year as Harry Berman), as well as a complete mineralogical classification, notably in successive editions of Mineralogische Tabellen, the first of which was published in 1941. Strunz's classification is based on both chemistry and crystal structure. He was one of the founders of the International Mineralogical Association. Strunz was particularly interested in phosphate minerals from granite pegmatites and Clifford Frondel doggedly pursued trying to acquire enough mineral in order to name a mineral for Dr. Strunz. Frondel made an appeal to every mineral field collector he came in contact with to provide as much of a tiny acicular mineral as they could. Strunzite was informally known as "Frondel's whiskers" before it was formally named. Because of Frondel's "crowdfunding" method, the initial description of strunzite was made on specimens from a wide variety of locations. Strunz was also an active describer of new mineral species, particularly from Hagendorf, Germany and Tsumeb, Namibia. He named chudobaite, fleischerite, hagendorfite, itoite, laueite, liandradite, petscheckite, pseudolaueite, stranskiite, and five other species.
Strunzite Group. Related to laueite. Compare zincostrunzite.

Optical Data of StrunziteHide

Type:
Biaxial (-)
RI values:
nα = 1.619 - 1.625 nβ = 1.64 - 1.67 nγ = 1.696 - 1.72
2V:
Measured: 75° to 80°, Calculated: 86°
Birefringence:
0.053
Max. Birefringence:
δ = 0.077 - 0.095
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:
Very 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 strong
Optical Extinction:
Z ^ c = 10° - 19°
Pleochroism:
Weak
Comments:
X= nearly colorless
Y= yellow brown
Z= darker yellow brown
