About Potassic-fluoro-richteriteHide

Hieronymus Theodor Richter
Formula:
{K}{CaNa}{Mg5}(Si8O22)(F,OH)2
The richterite group minerals are defined as sodium-calcium amphiboles with 0.5 apfu < A(Na+K+2Ca) where Na or K is dominant, and with C(Al+Fe3++2Ti)<0.5 apfu. The W position may contain (OH),F or Cl.

Potassic-fluoro-richterite is defined with
A position: K dominant
C position: Mg dominant
W position: F dominant.
Colour:
Brown to brownish-red, rose-red, yellow, grey-brown, also pale to dark green.
Lustre:
Vitreous
Hardness:
5 - 6
Crystal System:
Monoclinic
Name:
For its relationship to richterite.
Originally named potassium-fluor-richterite (Della Ventura et al., 1983). Renamed as fluoro-potassic-richterite on the basis of Burke & Leake (2004). Renamed to potassic-fluoro-richterite on the basis of Hawthorne et al. (2012).
