Species: | Axinite-(Mn) |
Formula: | Ca2Mn2+Al2BSi4O15(OH) |
Comments: | "In 1993 a boulder was discovered by the road adjacent to the small excavations on the deposit. The surface of the boulder contained some free-standing, wedge shaped, lustrous dark brown crystals up to 5mm across, which had been exposed by etching of the enclosing rock. X-ray diffraction and microprobe analysis determined the dark brown crystals to be manganaxinite set within a fine-grained matrix composed largely of diopside and calcite." |
