About Fluorapophyllite-(K)Hide

Formula:
KCa4(Si8O20)(F,OH) · 8H2O
Colour:
Colourless, pale green, aquamarine, white, pink, yellow
Lustre:
Vitreous, Pearly
Hardness:
4½ - 5
Specific Gravity:
2.33 - 2.37
Crystal System:
Tetragonal
Name:
Apophyllite was named in 1806 by Rene Just Haüy from the Greek for "away from" (ἀπό, apo) and "leaf" (φύλλον, phyllos), in allusion to the way it exfoliates upon heating. Chemical variants were recognized by Pete J. Dunn, Roland C. Rouse, and Julie A. Norberg in 1978.
Fluorapophyllite-(K) - Hydroxyapophyllite-(K) Series.

The name was revised from apophyllite-(KF) to fluorapophyllite-(K) (Hatert et al. 2013).
