About BurpaliteHide

Formula:
Na2CaZr(Si2O7)F2
Colour:
Colourless or yellowish
Lustre:
Vitreous
Hardness:
5 - 6
Specific Gravity:
3.33
Crystal System:
Monoclinic
Name:
Named after the type locality at the Burpala alkaline Massif, Maigunda River, Buriatia (Buryatia) Republic, Russia.
A polytype, burpalite-1M2, earlier described as "orthorombic låvenite" (by Portnov et al. 1966, Portnov and Siderenko 1975) is recognized (Dal Bo et al. 2022).

A distinctly monoclinic (låvenite-type cell) apparent polytype of burpalite has been reported by Friis et al. (2010).
