About Chapmanite
Formula:
Fe3+2Sb3+(Si2O5)O3(OH)
"1:1" layer silicate where the Fe2(Si2O5)O3(OH) part of the formula is analogous in structure to kaolinite, Al2(Si2O5)(OH)4, but additional Sb3+ is in pyramidal coordinate over the "holes" in the Fe layer.
Colour:
Olive green to deep yellow
Hardness:
2½
Specific Gravity:
3.69 - 3.75
Crystal System:
Monoclinic
Name:
Named in honour of John Edward Chapman (22 February 1821, Kent, England - 28 January 1904, London, England), civil engineer and professor of mineralogy and geology, University of Toronto, Canada.
Type Locality:
Isostructural with:
The antimony analogue of Bismutoferrite with which it is easily confused.
