About Ferrierite-NaHide

Walter F. Ferrier

Formula:

(Na,K)₅(Si₃₁Al₅)O₇₂ · 18H₂O

Lustre:

Vitreous

Hardness:

3 - 3½

Crystal System:

Monoclinic

Member of:

Ferrierite Subgroup > Zeolite Group

Name:

Named in 1997 by Coombs et al., during a reorganization of zeolite species, for being sodium-dominant ferrierite. The root name is for Walter Frederick Ferrier [4 May 1865 Montréal, Québec, Canada – 15 November 1950 Toronto, York County, Ontario, Canada], mineralogist, mining engineer, and geologist with the Geological Survey of Canada.

Type Locality:

ⓘ Altoona-Pillar Rock Road roadcuts, Altoona, Wahkiakum County, Washington, USA

Optical Data of Ferrierite-NaHide

Type:

Biaxial (+/-)

RI values:

n_α = 1.473 - 1.489 n_β = 1.474 - 1.489 n_γ = 1.477 - 1.492

Max. Birefringence:

δ = 0.003 - 0.004
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

Dispersion:

weak
