About Dorallcharite
Formula:
TlFe3+3(SO4)2(OH)6
Colour:
Golden yellow
Lustre:
Earthy
Hardness:
3 - 4
Specific Gravity:
3.85 (Calculated)

Name:
Named by T. Balic-Žunic, Y. Moëlo, Z. Loncar, H. Micheelsen in 1994. The name is a concatenation of the French word doré, for the mineral's golden yellow color, and Allchar, the type locality in Macedonia. The discoverers wanted to honor the very important locality but 'allcharite' had already been used on a later discredited mineral.

Based on recorded range of RI values above.
Interference Colours:
The colours simulate birefringence patterns seen in thin section under crossed polars. They do not take into account mineral colouration or opacity.
Michel-Levy Bar The default colours simulate the birefringence range for a 30 µm thin-section thickness. Adjust the slider to simulate a different thickness.
Grain Simulation You can rotate the grain simulation to show how this range might look as you rotated a sample under crossed polars.
