About HeklaiteHide

Formula:
KNaSiF6
Colour:
Colourless
Lustre:
Vitreous
Specific Gravity:
2.69 (Calculated)
Crystal System:
Orthorhombic
Name:
For the type locality.
Type locality heklaite is the natural product of hydrofluoric acid-bearing volcanic fumarole gases reacting with feldspar in volcanic rock. The much finer heklaite crystals from Polk County, Florida, are an accidental synthetic in gypsum industrial waste piles, a product of reaction between clay minerals and the hydrofluoric acid-rich byproducts of superphosphate fertilizer production.
