About Potassic-ferro-ferri-sadanagaiteHide

Formula:
KCa2(Fe2+3Fe3+2)(Al3Si5O22)(OH)2
The sadanagaite group minerals are defined as with 0.5 < A(Na+K+ 2Ca) where Na or K is dominant, and with 1.5 < C(Al+Fe3++2Ti), where Al or Fe3+ are dominant. The W position may contain (OH),F or Cl.

Potassic-ferro-ferri-sadanagaite is defined with
A position: K dominant
C2+ position: Fe dominant
C3+ position: Fe dominant
W position: (OH) dominant.
Colour:
black
Lustre:
Vitreous
Hardness:
5½ - 6
Specific Gravity:
3.36 (Calculated)
Crystal System:
Monoclinic
This material was named potassic-ferrisadanagaite in the original description, but the analaysed material has Fe2+>>Mg, and after the redefinition of the sadanagaite group in the 2012 amphibole nomenclature, the correct name is potassic-ferro-ferri-sadanagaite.

Optical Data of Potassic-ferro-ferri-sadanagaiteHide

Type:
Biaxial (-)
RI values:
nα = 1.696 nβ = 1.7 nγ = 1.715
Max. Birefringence:
δ = 0.019
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:
Moderate
Dispersion:
r > v

RadioactivityHide

Radioactivity:
Element % Content Activity (Bq/kg) Radiation Type
Uranium (U) 0.0000% 0 α, β, γ
Thorium (Th) 0.0000% 0 α, β, γ
Potassium (K) 3.8871% 1,205 β, γ

For comparison:

  • Banana: ~15 Bq per fruit
  • Granite: 1,000–3,000 Bq/kg
  • EU exemption limit: 10,000 Bq/kg

Note: Risk is shown relative to daily recommended maximum exposure to non-background radiation of 1000 µSv/year. Note that natural background radiation averages around 2400 µSv/year so in reality these risks are probably extremely overstated! With infrequent handling and safe storage natural radioactive minerals do not usually pose much risk.

Note: The mass selector refers to the mass of radioactive mineral present, not the full specimen, also be aware that the matrix may also be radioactive, possibly more radioactive than this mineral!

The external dose rate (D) from a radioactive mineral is estimated by summing the gamma radiation contributions from its Uranium, Thorium, and Potassium content, disregarding daughter-product which may have a significant effect in some cases (eg 'pitchblende'). This involves multiplying the activity (A, in Bq) of each element by its specific gamma ray constant (Γ), which accounts for its unique gamma emissions. The total unshielded dose at 1 cm is then scaled by the square of the distance (r, in cm) and multiplied by a shielding factor (μshield). This calculation provides a 'worst-case' or 'maximum risk' estimate because it assumes the sample is a point source and entirely neglects any self-shielding where radiation is absorbed within the mineral itself, meaning actual doses will typically be lower. The resulting dose rate (D) is expressed in microsieverts per hour (μSv/h).

D = ((AU × ΓU) + (ATh × ΓTh) + (AK × ΓK)) / r2 × μshield
