About MargariteHide

Formula:

CaAl₂(Al₂Si₂O₁₀)(OH)₂

Colour:

Grayish, pale pink, yellow, green. Colorless in thin section.

Lustre:

Vitreous, Pearly

Hardness:

3½ - 4½

Specific Gravity:

2.99 - 3.08

Crystal System:

Monoclinic

Member of:

Brittle Mica Group > Mica Group

Name:

First named 'pearl-mica' by Friedrich Mohs (1820) because of its luster. The current name was given in 1823 by Johann Nepomuk von Fuchs, from the Greek for pearl.

Type Locality:

ⓘ Großer Greiner, Finkenberg, Schwaz District, Tyrol, Austria

Mica Group.

Hintze (Vol. 2, 1897) gives Sterzing (Vipiteno), South Tyrol as the TL of margarite and refers to Mohs (1820). In fact, Mohs described the mineral but did not provide an analysis. Therefore, according to von Zepharovich (1873), Greiner Mt. has to be regarded as the TL, based on the data provided by Senger.

2M1 polytype
