Annite : KFe2+3[(OH)2|AlSi3O10]

Eifel Mts, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany

We usually expect biotite series minerals to be pseudohexagonal. Here a crystal with a protruding hexagonal plate at the base, comes to a four-sided termination! Photomicrograph © Saul Krotki 2005 (.0705.1). The crystal measures 1.0 mm across. Krotki Micromount Collection.

Annite : KFe2+3[(OH)2|AlSi3O10]

Rockport, Essex Co., Massachusetts, USA

6.8 x 5.4 x 4.6 cm. According to MINDAT this is a very rare member of the Mica Group in the Biotite-Phlogopite Series. Regardless, it’s the most oddly crystallized mica I have seen. It looks more like a dark phosphate than a mica. From the TYPE LOCALITY where it was first noted in 1868. Ex. Academy of Natural Sciences Philadelphia Collection.
