Formula:

K(CaNa)(Fe²⁺₃Al₂)(Si₆Al₂)O₂₂(OH)₂

The taramite group minerals are sodium-calcium amphiboles defined with ^A(Na+K+2Ca)> 0.5 apfu and 1.5 apfu < ^C(Al+Fe³⁺+2Ti).

Potassic-ferro-taramite is defined with

A position: K dominant
C²⁺ position: Fe dominant
C³⁺ position: Al dominant
W position: (OH) dominant

Colour:

Dark bluish-green

Lustre:

Vitreous

Hardness:

5 - 6

Crystal System:

Monoclinic

Member of:

Taramite Root Name Group > Sodium-Calcium Amphibole Subgroup > w(OH,F,Cl)-dominant Amphibole Group > Amphibole Supergroup

Name:

Named for the group type locality, Walitarama, Mariupol, Ukraine.

This mineral was originally named potassic-aluminotaramite. Due to the redefinition of the taramite group in the 2012 amphibole nomenclature, the valid name for this material is potassic-ferro-taramite.

Type Locality:

ⓘ Sierra de los Filabres, Almería, Andalusia, Spain

The taramite group is in the 2012 nomenclature defined with C(Al+Fe³⁺+2Ti) > 1.5 apfu, whereas the pre-2012 definition was used the T position, i.e 5.5 < Si < 6.5 apfu. This redefinition does not change the formula, but some amphiboles qualifying as potassic-ferro-taramite pre-2012 may now be potassic-ferro-katophorite.
