Improving Mindat.orgSogdianite from the KMF

21st Nov 2016 06:00 UTCRieck Branko

I believe that all so-called sogdianite from the KMF is in fact sugilite. Thus sogdianite should be marked as misidentified.


Maybe Dr. Cairncross could chime in regarding this matter?


On a side note: in the late 80s and 90s, I was offered a piece of sugilite (later IDed by PXRD) as sogdianite which I then bought to increase the number of species I owned by one. I still have that one in my collection as an oddity.
