Comments: | A pale reddish mineral that occurs as small rounded spots in grännite rock has been thought to be calciocatapleiite, but no analysis has confirmed this (Thulin 1996). A yellowish-white to yellowish brown mineral that occurs as 1-2 cm large spots, also in grännite, thougt to be calciocatapleiite by collectors, was analyzed by EDS-SEM, and was showed to be catapleiite (Thulin 2000).
A catapleiite with purple-blue color labelled by some collctors as "Ca-catapleiite" or calciocatapleiite (Identity not verified) shows a vivid green color in both short and long wave UV. |
