(Mn2+Ce)(Fe3+AlMn2+)O[Si2O7][SiO4](OH)
Colour:
dark brown
Lustre:
Vitreous
Hardness:
6½ - 7
Specific Gravity:

Member of:
Name:
In accordance with the existing nomenclature scheme for the epidote supergroup minerals. The root-name “androsite” was first used for a REE-rich member from the Andros Island (Greece), having Mn2+ as dominant cation at the A1 and M3 sites and the M1 site occupied by Mn3+; the prefix “ferri” indicates the dominance of Fe3+ at the M1 site from the specimen from the Július manganese ore occurrence. The suffix, indicating the dominant cation at the A2 site, agrees with the nomenclature for REE mineral species.
The Fe3+ analogue of androsite-(Ce), manganiandrosite-(Ce) and vanadoandrosite-(Ce). The Ce analogue of ferriandrosite-(La) and the Mn2+ (or Mn2+Ce-) analogue of ferriakasakaite-(Ce).
