About WagneriteHide

Franz M. von Wagner

Formula:

Mg₂(PO₄)F

Colour:

Yellow, brown, red brown, light grey, green, red; colourless in transmitted light.

Lustre:

Sub-Vitreous, Resinous, Greasy

Hardness:

5 - 5½

Specific Gravity:

3.15

Crystal System:

Monoclinic

Member of:

Wagnerite Group

Name:

Named in 1821 by Johann Nepomuk von Fuchs in honour of Franz Michael von Wagner (20 August 1768, Waldershof, Germany - 27 April 1851, Munich, Germany), mining administrator at Fichtelberg in 1791, later at Chiemgau in 1794, at Reichenhall and Traunstein in 1803, Schwarz, Tyrol in 1806, etc. In 1820, Wagner became head of mining, salt mines, and the mint. Wagner was also important in the development of mining in Bavaria.

Type Locality:

ⓘ Höllgraben, Werfen, St. Johann im Pongau District, Salzburg, Austria

Isostructural with:

Arsenowagnerite, Sarkinite, Triplite, Triploidite, Wolfeite, Zwieselite

Wagnerite Group.
The Mg analogue of zwieselite (not isotypic).

Several polytypes are known. The most common one is wagnerite-Ma2bc.

"We show that wagnerite and the 5b_0, 7b_0 and 9b_0 phases share the same topological arrangement of cations and oxygen atoms, differ only by the periodic faulting of the A-B succession of the F atoms along b, and are all members of a polytypic series based on the magniotriplite cell (b_0). The relevant polytypes and F ordering schemes are wagnerite-a2bc (AB), wagnerite-a5bc (ABAAB), wagnerite-a7bc (ABAABAB) and wagnerite-a9bc (ABAABABAB)."

Optical Data of WagneriteHide

Type:

Biaxial (+)

RI values:

n_α = 1.5678 n_β = 1.5719 n_γ = 1.5824

2V:

Measured: 25° to 35°

Birefringence:

0.046

Max. Birefringence:

δ = 0.015
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 (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.

Focus:

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.

Thickness: 30 µm

Stage rotation: 0°

Dispersion:

r > v weak

Optical Extinction:

Y = b; Z ∧ c = 21°.

Pleochroism:

Non-pleochroic
