Triplite from
Stewart Mine, Tourmaline Queen Mountain (Pala Mtn; Queen Mtn), Pala, Pala Mining District, San Diego County, California, USA


Locality type:Mine
Classification
Species:Triplite
Formula:Mn22+(PO4)F
Comments:Triplite occurs sparingly in the Stewart pegmatite, where it is associated with lithiophilite and triphylite. It forms crystals with rough faces, measuring 1/4 inch to 5 inches in diameter, with an average of about an inch. The mineral also occurs as tabular, fracture-filling masses within quartz, and rarely within coarse quartz-spodumene or quartz-perthite varieties of pegmatite. Most crystals are heavily stained with manganese oxides, and many are coated with a blue-gray film of very finely crystalline vivianite. The vivianite appears to have been derived from the triplite crystals.
Habit:Tabular and fracture-filling masses with rough faces; cleavage is fairly well developed.
Colour:Deep-tan to dark reddish-brown on freshly broken surfaces; resinous luster.
Abundance at site:Rare
Confirmation
Validity:Believed Valid
