Note on mineral list:
Material labelled "tirodite" from the International Talc Company mine, Talcville, New York, USA, has been shown to be manganocummingtonite by electron microprobe (by Mike Hawkins, curator at the NY State Museum mineral collection). See further discussions at: http://www.mindat.org/mesg-7-206424.html
Additional material labeled "tirodite" from the International Talc Company mine, Talcville, New York, USA, was confirmed to be anthophyllite by XRD performed by John Attard on a sample submitted by John Duck in April, 2012. Accordingly, without confirmation, the identity of similar material may be either manganocummingtonite or anthophyllite. Visual identification or identification by fluorescent response is not possible.

| β Dravite Formula: NaMg3Al6(Si6O18)(BO3)3(OH)3(OH) |
| β Formula: ◻[Mn2+Na][Mg4Fe3+]Si8O22(OH)2 Locality: International Talc Company Mine (Reynolds Mine), Talcville, St. Lawrence County, New York, USA - erroneously reported Description: "Segeler (1961) mistakenly referred to the manganoan cummingtonites from Talcville, New York as "tirodite," because the yellow amphibole from Tirodi contains substantial amounts of Mn and Mg. Unfortunately, Segeler's misidentification of manganoan cummingtonite as tirodite received the blessings of the IMA Commission on New Mineral Names". (Ghose & Hexiong 1989).
Tirodite was discredited in the 1997 paper on amphibole nomenclature as a synonym of Parvowinchite. Thus specimens of manganocummingtonite labelled as tirodite was erronously relabelled as "parvowinchite".
There are no evidence of significant Na content in these amphibioles. |
