Melilite : (Ca,Na)2(Al,Mg,Fe2+)[(Al,Si)SiO7], Nepheline : (Na,K)[AlSiO4]

Stolz Quarry (Graulai; Graulay; Grauley), Hillesheim, Eifel Mts, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany

Melilite in flattened forms such as this orange crystal occurs at several Eifel Volcanic District localities. Melilite is a tetragonal mineral. By comparison, Melilite from Mendig exhibits distinct tetragonal forms. Photomicrograph © Saul Krotki 2006 (.0766.2). Field of view 2.0 mm wide.

Mendig, Eifel Mts, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany

Acicular apatite penetrate and extend from the faces of a tetragonal red melilite crystals. At some localites, melilite forms very flattened crystals that do not look tetragonal at all. (See Graulai). Photomicrograph © Saul Krotki 2006 (.0767.1). Field of view 3.0 mm wide. Krotki Micromount Collection.

Melilite : (Ca,Na)2(Al,Mg,Fe2+)[(Al,Si)SiO7], Apatite

Mendig, Eifel Mts, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany

Inside a 1.0 mm field of view crystals of acicular apatite penetrate and extend from the faces of a tetragonal red melilite crystal. At some localites, melilite will form very flattened crystals that do not look tetragonal at all. (See Graulai). Photomicrograph © Saul Krotki 2006 (.0767.2).
