System:MonoclinicColour:black, dark-green, ...
Lustre:VitreousHardness:5 - 6
Member of:Hastingsite Group > Calcium Amphibole Subgroup > w(OH, F, Cl)-dominant Amphibole Group > Amphibole Supergroup
Name:For the locality in Dungannon Township, Hastings Co., Ontario, Canada


The hastingsite-group minerals are defined with 0,5 < A(Na+K+2Ca)<1.5 where Na or K is dominant and with the C position occupied by Mg or Fe2+ as dominant divalent ions and 0,5 < C(Al+Fe3+ +Cr+2Ti) < 1.5 where Fe3+ is dominant. W may contain (OH),F or Cl.

Hastingsite is defined with:

A position: Na dominant
C position: Fe dominant divalent ion
W position: (OH) dominant
