About HydropyrochloreHide

Formula:

(H₂O,◻)₂Nb₂(O,OH)₆(H₂O)

Colour:

Greenish; greenish white

Hardness:

4 - 4½

Crystal System:

Isometric

Member of:

Pyrochlore Group > Pyrochlore Supergroup

Name:

For the chemical composition and relation to pyrochlore (now a generic name).

Type Locality:

ⓘ Lueshe Mine, Bwito, Rutshuru Territory, North Kivu, DR Congo

The former species kalipyrochlore described by van Wambeke (1965, 1978) is, following the new nomenclature of the pyrochlore supergroup, now classified with a new name, hydropyrochlore (Atencio et al. 2010, Christy & Atencio 2013)

Pseudomorphs to columbite and fersmite are common at the TL.
