Mineralogical ClassificationIMA #2004-054 = Lingunite

LINGUNITE- Tenham Sta, So. Gregory, Queensland Australia. This NEW SPECIES occurs as minute inclusions within the Tenham hypersthene-olivine chondrite metorite that fell in 1879. Formula: (Na,Ca), IMA #2004-054. Each sample is a small polished section, accompanied by a sharp SEM image, analytical chemistry and XRD data confirming the species visually, chemically and structurally! Associations vary but typically include kamacite, troilite, olivine, ringwoodite etc. Only three confirmed samples on hand @ 375.00 each, with full documentation!
Regards
Steve

I cam across a reference to "Unnamed (Tetragonal analogue of Albite)" on MinDat that gives the "type" locality as the Suizhou meteorite. In fact, confirmed by the reference given (AmMin 85: 1564), the type locality is the Sixiangkou meteorite. This is a description of what is now known as Lingunite.
