IMA 2009-041 = ellingsenite

see also http://forum.amiminerals.it/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7016

I posted this in the Scrapbook and not in IMA status, because I could not find an "official" reference yet (Admins feel free to move this thread!).

I don't know about the policy of Mindat regarding the publication of new mineral names, but the lid seems to be off, because at the Munich show this mineral was offered by at least 3 different dealers under its name and not only its IMA number.

Victor N. Yakovenchuk is noted in the IMA list as author. Maybe somebody could get a comment from him.

Also in some other web sites (i.e.: http://www.mineralienatlas.de/lexikon/index.php/MineralData?mineral=Ellingsenit).

Ellingsenite is named after the 80 year old amateurgeologist, dr.ing. Hans Vidar Ellingsen, Oslo and the first member of Stenvennerne - Københavns Amatørgeologiske Forening with a mineral named after. We are very proud of Hans Vidar and his wife Astrid.

4th Nov 2010 17:56 UTCDavid Von Bargen Manager

If you have any photos of him, we could use his picture on the mineral page for the "photo of whom the mineral was named for".

I have a photo with Hans Vidar Ellingsen, but I can not make a copy here - I can send it to an E-mail address

I have hanskloster@webspeed.dk

Thanks, photo uploaded (http://www.mindat.org/photo-345078.html), but I can't link it to the mineral page at the moment (bug).

5th Nov 2010 11:14 UTCUwe Kolitsch Manager

Now it's here (it was no bug, but there has to be some text in the field explaining the name and its history).

(2011): Ellingsenite, Na5Ca6Si18O38(OH)13·6H2O, a new gyrolite related mineral from phonolite of the Aris alkaline complex (Namibia). Canadian Mineralogist, 49, 1165-1173.

Abstract:

Ellingsenite, Na5Ca6Si18O38(OH)13·6H2O, is a new calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) P-1, a 9.55(3), b 9.395(8), c 16.329(3) Å, α 100.2(1), β 94.9(2), γ 117.8(2)°, V 1251(8) Å3, Z = 1 (from powder-diffraction data) or a 9.576(11), b 9.577(11), c 16.438(19) Å, α 85.85(2), β 75.23(2), γ 60.142(14)°, V 1262(3) Å3, Z = 1 (from single-crystal diffraction data)>, chemically and structurally related to minerals of the gyrolite–reyerite group. The mineral is found in a hydrothermally altered phonolite of the Aris alkaline complex, in Namibia, as snow-white spherules (up to 3 mm in diameter) of well-shaped rhomb-like crystals associated with aegirine, albite, manganoneptunite, microcline, natrolite and polylithionite. The mineral is transparent, colorless in separate crystals, white in aggregates, with a vitreous (separate crystals) to silky (aggregates) luster and a white streak. Cleavage is perfect on {001}, and the fracture is smooth. The Mohs hardness is 4. In transmitted light, the mineral is colorless; dispersion is not observed. Ellingsenite is biaxial (–): α 1.520(2), β 1.534(2), γ 1.536 (589 nm), 2Vmeas 5°. Optical orientation: X = c. Dcalc = 2.38 g cm−3, Dmeas = 2.32(5) g cm−3. The mean chemical composition determined by electron microprobe is: Na2O 9.26, K2O 0.23, CaO 17.35, SiO2 60.35, H2O 12.5 (Penfield method), for a total of 99.69 wt.%. The empirical formula calculated on the basis of 57 atoms of oxygen is (Na4.95K0.09)∑5.04(Ca5.57Na0.43)∑6.00Si18.10O38(OH)13·6H2O. The simplified formula is Na5Ca6Si18O38(OH)13·6H2O. The mineral does not effervesce in 1:1 HCl at room temperature. The strongest X-ray powder-diffraction lines <d in Å(I)hkl> are: 15.50(100)001, 4.22(16)2-01, 3.159(30)005, 3.023(33)32-1, 2.791(24)2-1-4, and 1.827(27)5-11. The crystal-structure model of ellingsenite (R1 = 0.247) obtained from a crystal of poor quality displays layers of octahedra and tetrahedra of the T2OT-2 type with the composition {Na1.90Ca5.10X2}, where X = O, OH, with the interlayer content unresolved. Ellingsenite can be considered as a derivative of martinite, obtained from the latter by intercalation of some additional species (most probably, Na hydrosilicate) in between the adjacent layers of octahedra and tetrahedra. The principal absorption bands in the infrared spectrum include 3460, 1600, 1360 and 1025 cm−1 (shoulder at 1140 cm−1) plus four bands in the region of 780–380 cm−1. The mineral is named in honor of Dr. Hans Vidar Ellingsen (born 1930), a well-known Norwegian mineral collector, who found this mineral during his expedition to the Aris complex.

The R-value of the crystal-structure determination (24.7%) explains why it took so long to get this mineral approved.

Although ellingsenite crystals generally look fine, they invariably show a horrible crystal quality ...

I am his brother and I have pictures of Hans Vidar Ellingsen.

I have been perusing several flats of Aris material collected by David Shannon in 1995. Using Mindat images as a guide am I correct in assuming that ellingsenite is common? I am finding lots of late white, silky-lustered tiny xls, which I assume are ellingsenite. Sometimes they are sprinkled on/amongst tuppersuatsiaite xls. Suggestions?

24th Mar 2012 23:01 UTCAntonio Borrelli Expert

Reducing material from Aris I found ellingsenite to be quite common in the miarolitic cavities and often in pretty associations with greenish tuperssuatsiaite and villiaumite.

26th Mar 2012 18:51 UTCUwe Kolitsch Manager

Yes, it's quite common, but a bit inconspicuous.
