| Species: | Danburite |
| Formula: | CaB2Si2O8 |
| Formation: | Primary |
| Comments: | Described by Huff (2013) as "small, colorless, prismatic crystals, associated with titanite, phlogopite, olivine and feldspar. The daburite was examined via an optical emission spectograph and an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Further studies, including polarized light microscopy, specific gravity measurement and observations made while fusing the mineral, were all consistent with danburite." |
