About HelvineHide

Formula:
Be3Mn2+4(SiO4)3S
Colour:
Golden yellow, brown, red, gray-yellow, yellow-green
Lustre:
Vitreous, Resinous
Hardness:
6 - 6½
Specific Gravity:
3.2 - 3.44
Crystal System:
Isometric
Member of:
Name:
from Latin 'helvus' = 'yellow', for the colour
Helvine Group. Danalite-Helvine Series, and the Genthelvite-Helvine Series.
The IMA officially recognized name (2012 IMA list) is helvine, not helvite, although the synonym "helvite" may be more common in the literature.

The largest crystals known are the 15 cm-long edge helvine crystals found at the Chingolo skarn mine in the Córdoba province, Argentina
(Lira et al., 2023).
