About ChiavenniteHide

The town of Chiavenna in the valley taken from Savogno.

Chiavenna, Valchiavenna, Sondrio Province, Lombardy, Italy
Formula:
CaMnBe2Si5O13(OH)2 · 2H2O
from Grice et al. (2016): Ca1-2(Mn,Fe)Si5Be2O13(OH)2.2H2O
Colour:
Pale orange-yellow;
Lustre:
Vitreous, Pearly
Hardness:
3
Specific Gravity:
2.64
Crystal System:
Monoclinic
Member of:
Zeolite Group
Name:
Named by Mirella Bondi, William L. Griffin, Vittorio Mattioli, and Annibale Mottana in 1983 for the type locality of Chiavenna, Italy.
Isostructural with:
Ferrochiavennite
Closely related to Ferrochiavennite, which is its Fe analogue. See also the related tvedalite and another chemically close mineral, harstigite. Re-investigations of Chiavennite from the TL indicate that at room temperature chiavennite is monoclinic with spacegroup P21/c; the mineral becomes orthorhombic (Pbcn) upon dehydration due to destruction of water(extraframework)-oxygen(cavity walls) hydrogen bonds (Cametti & Armbruster 2015).

The structure is described as an interrupted framework with four-connected SiO4 and three-connected BeO4 tetrahedra, the latter closely associated with H atoms. There are 9-, 6-, 5- and 4-fold rings in it. Calcium may exist in a single site, or in two sites, of which the second one is partially occupied.
