Member of:Smectite Group
Name:
Named after Edwin Augustus Stevens [July 28, 1795- August 8, 1868], founder of the Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, New Jersey (USA). The mineral "stevensite" was named for Edwin Augustus Stevens in recognition of the high technical expertise achieved by engineering graduates of his college. Stevens was a co-founder of the Union Line Transportation Company in 1823, but which began operation in the 1830's with one of the first railroads in the USA.

Optical Data of Stevensite

Type:Biaxial (+)
RI values: nα = 1.500 - 1.560 nβ = 1.500 - 1.560 nγ = 1.510 - 1.570 n = 1.50 - 1.51
Birefringence:0.01
Maximum Birefringence:δ = 0.010

Chart shows birefringence interference colour range (at 30µm thickness) and does not take into account mineral colouration.
Surface Relief:Low
Dispersion:none
Optical Extinction:May be isotropic
Pleochroism:Non-pleochroic
Comments:High refractive indices may be due to dehydration or transition to nontronite, etc.
