About HastingsiteHide

06279790017271923738143.jpg
Coat of Arms of Hastings County, Ontario, Canada
Formula:
NaCa2(Fe2+4Fe3+)(Si6Al2)O22(OH)2
Colour:
black, dark-green, greenish-brown, yellow
Lustre:
Vitreous
Hardness:
5 - 6
Specific Gravity:
3.35 - 3.5
Crystal System:
Monoclinic
Name:
Named in 1896 by Frank Dawson Adams and Bernard James Harrington for the type locality in Dungannon Township, Hastings County, Ontario, Canada.
The hastingsite-group minerals are defined with 0.5 < A(Na+K+2Ca)<1.5 where Na or K is dominant and with the C position occupied by Mg or Fe2+ as dominant divalent ions and 0.5 < C(Al+Fe3+ +Cr+2Ti) < 1.5 where Fe3+ is dominant. W may contain (OH),F or Cl.

Hastingsite is defined with:

A position: Na dominant
C position: Fe dominant divalent ion
W position: (OH) dominant

Chemically similar to ferri-winchite.

Optical Data of HastingsiteHide

Type:
Biaxial (-)
RI values:
nα = 1.669 - 1.68 nβ = 1.682 - 1.695 nγ = 1.684 - 1.705
2V:
Measured: 40° to 81°, Calculated: 42° to 76°
Max. Birefringence:
δ = 0.015 - 0.025
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.

Surface Relief:
Moderate
Dispersion:
r > v distinct
Pleochroism:
Visible
Comments:
X = yellow, greenish brown, yellowish green; Y = deep
greenish blue, brownish green, very dark olive-green; Z = deep olive-green, smoky blue-green, very dark green
