Hejtmanite : Ba(Mn2+,Fe2+)2Ti[O|(OH,F)2|Si2O7], Rhodonite : MnSiO3

Rhodonite occurrence, Muzeinyi Valley, Inyl'chek Range, Issyk-Kul'skaya Oblast, Kyrgyzstan

Orange plates of hejtmanite in rhodonite rock. This is Fe-free mineral close to end member - such variety named inylchekite. Note its colour and compare with Fe-bearing varieties from Dara Pioz. FOW ~2x1.5 cm. Collected by L.A. Pautov before 1991. Pavel M. Kartashov collection and photo.

Sonolite : Mn2+9[(OH,F)2|(SiO4)4], Alleghanyite : Mn2+5[(OH)2|(SiO4)2], Tephroite : Mn2+2[SiO4], Rhodonite : MnSiO3, Alabandite : Mn2+S, Rhodochrosite : MnCO3

Rhodonite occurrence, Muzeinyi Valley, Inyl'chek Range, Issyk-Kul'skaya Oblast, Kyrgyzstan

Cut unpolished surface. Segregation of purple-red grains sonolite-alleghanyite intergrowths (sonolite is main phase) in whitish spot of calcian rhodochrosite. Associating minerals are: pinkish rhodonite, greenish-grey tephroite (Fe- and Mg-free), black grains of alabandine and orange grains of spessartine (close to end member composition). FOV is ...
