Improving Mindat.orgDoubtful Norwegian meliphanite

18th Jul 2014 11:08 UTCOT. Ljøstad Expert

The photo: http://www.mindat.org/photo-267082.html is rather doubtful. It is probably wöhlerite.

I totally agree, as I have crystals like this and they are deffinately Wohlerite..

Dan replied that the Foote label said meliphanite and wondered if it should be changed. I said you guys knew what you were talking about so it is changed. However I'm now wondering what the yellow mineral is? Could it be meliphanite?

Rob,

deffinately Wöhlerite which can have different hues of yellow in the same specimen. I would guess all the yellow in the specimen is Wöhlerite.
