ⓘ Calcite

Formula: CaCO₃

Colour: White opaque.

Fluorescence: Often pinkish red under Short Wave UV light.

References:

Personally collected and analyzed by David Lowe. White Calcite fills large vugs with thin off-white fibrous Pectolite veins crossing and surrounding. Minor Albite and an amorphous phase are present as well. XRD reference patterns: PDF 04-007-8659, PDF 04-011-5155, and PDF 01-084-0752.

ⓘ 'Crossite'

ⓘ Ferri-winchite

Formula: ◻(NaCa)(Mg₄Fe³⁺)Si₈O₂₂(OH)₂

References:

A piece of blueschist matrix often called "Crossite" was personally collected and analyzed by David Lowe. It contained Ferri-Winchite matching reference XRD pattern PDF 00-052-1577 and Albite PDF 01-084-0752. It was in direct contact with Neptunite, which was separately found to match PDF 00-043-0677. No other crystalline phases were found.

ⓘ Joaquinite-(Ce)

Formula: NaBa₂Ce₂FeTi₂[Si₄O₁₂]₂O₂(OH,F) · H₂O

ⓘ Neptunite

Formula: KNa₂Li(Fe²⁺)₂Ti₂[Si₄O₁₂]₂

ⓘ Orthojoaquinite-(Ce)

Formula: NaBa₂Ce₂FeTi₂[Si₄O₁₂]₂O₂(O,OH) · H₂O

References:

ⓘ Pectolite

Formula: NaCa₂Si₃O₈(OH)

Colour: Off-white.

Fluorescence: Can be light yellow under Short Wave UV light.

References:

Collected by Charles "Chuck" Trantham. Analyzed by David Lowe. Vein inside tough blueschist matrix. Opaque white with very thin pink layer on top, which may be Serandite. Associated with Albite.

Most samples are thin veins of short needles in Calcite and have no color.

ⓘ Strontiojoaquinite (TL)

Formula: Sr₂Ba₂(Na,Fe)₂Ti₂[Si₄O₁₂]₂O₂(O,OH)₂ · H₂O

Type Locality:

Habit: Steep pseudotetragonal, bipyramidal.

Colour: Green, yellow-green, yellow-brown (uncommon)

Description: Occurs in the New Idria serpentinite body in albite-lined fractures cutting blueschist.
