About AmblygoniteHide

Formula:
LiAl(PO4)F
Colour:
Milk-white, yellow, beige, salmon-pink, pale green, light blue, grey; colourless in transmitted light.
Lustre:
Sub-Vitreous, Resinous, Greasy, Pearly
Hardness:
5½ - 6
Specific Gravity:
3.04 - 3.11
Crystal System:
Triclinic
Name:
Named by August Breithaupt in 1817 from the Greek αμβλύς ("amvlys") for "blunt" and γωνία ("gonia") for "angle," referring to the fact that its cleavage angle slightly differs from 90°, distinguishing it from scapolite for which it was originally mistaken.
Amblygonite-Montebrasite Series. Fluorine analogue of Montebrasite.

Occurs chiefly in granite pegmatites of the lithium- and phosphate-rich type. Crystals may be enormous in size.
NOTE: Most "amblygonite" from granite pegmatites, especially from crystal pockets, are in fact montebrasite.

Chemical AnalysisHide

Crystallography of AmblygoniteHide

Crystal System:
Triclinic
Class (H-M):
1 - Pinacoidal
Space Group:
P1
Setting:
P1
Cell Parameters:
a = 6.644 Å, b = 7.744 Å, c = 6.91 Å
α = 90.35°, β = 117.33°, γ = 91.01°
Ratio:
a:b:c = 0.858 : 1 : 0.892
Unit Cell V:

Z:
4
Morphology:
Crude crystals, typically equant to short prismatic [010], with complex form development, to 1.5 meters; also occurs as large cleavable masses; columnar; compact. Free-standing amblygonite crystals from crystal pockets are rare. Most pocket crystals are hydroxyl-rich montebrasite.
Twinning:
On {111}, common, with composition plane {111} with the resulting twins commonly tabular parallel to {111} and the twinned individuals of about equal size; also tabular {110} and the twinned individuals of very unequal size. Also twins on {111}, rare; lamellar. Microscopic polysynthetic twinning is common.

Fluorescence of AmblygoniteHide

May fluoresce faint to medium cream yellow in SW and LW. Often shows patchy response.

Other InformationHide

Notes:
Soluble with difficulty in acids. Colours a flame red.

Alters to mixtures of smectite or kaolinite and mica group, often as alterations rimming or surrounding rounded nodules of unaltered material. Also alters to lacroixite, Turquoise, Wavellite, Wardite, and Morinite.
Health Risks:
No information on health risks for this material has been entered into the database. You should always treat mineral specimens with care.
