About Hedyphane
Formula:
Ca2Pb3(AsO4)3Cl
Colour:
White, yellowish white, buff, bluish; colourless in transmitted light.
Lustre:
Resinous, Greasy
Hardness:
4 - 5
Specific Gravity:
5.82
Crystal System:
Hexagonal
Member of:
Name:
First described from LĂ„ngban, Sweden and named in 1830 by Johann Friedrich August Breithaupt from the Greek ηΎÏÏ for "sweet" or "beautiful" and ÏÎ±ÎŻÎœÎ”ÏΞαÎč, "to appear", in allusion to the typical appearance and luster of specimens. Redefined in 1926 by William Foshag and Robert Gage and then redefined by Roland C. Rouse, Pete J. Dunn, and Donald R. Peacor (1984).
Isostructural with:
A relatively rare mineral of the Apatite Supergroup found in metamorphosed manganese deposits. The Pb3Ca2 analogue of Turneaureite and Mimetite. The arsenate analogue of Phosphohedyphane. Also the chlorine analogue of hydroxylhedyphane.
Pb and Ca atoms are ordered on two different cation sites (M1 and M2) in the crystal structure.
Formerly thought to be a Ca-bearing variety of mimetite.
